Dehydro-digitoxosides of digitoxigenin and digoxigenin: binding to beef heart (Na+ + K+)-ATPase in relation to unchanged digitoxosides. 1979

C Bossaller, and A Schmoldt

Dehydro-digitoxosides are metabolites of digitalis glycosides. In order to study their possible biological activity their affinity to (Na+ + K+)-activated ATPase was determined and compared with unchanged glycosides. Based on the dissociation constants of glycoside-enzyme-complexes, the affinity of the dehydro-digitoxosides ranged in the same order of magnitude as that of the native glycosides. Comparing mono-, bis-, and tris-digitoxosides of digitoxigenin (dt-1, dt-2, dt-3) and of digoxin (dg-1, dg-2, dg-3) with the corresponding dehydrodigitoxosides (3'-dehydro-dt-1, 9'-dehydro-dt-2, 15'-dehydro-dt3, 3'-dehydro-dg-1 and 9'-dehydro-dg-2, respectively) the dehydro-digitoxosides had lower affinities to the enzyme. The highest dissociation constants (KD) were found for 3'-dehydro-dt-1 and 3'-dehydro-dg-1. The half maximal inhibition of (Na+ + K+)-ATPase activity (I50) coresponded to affinity measurements in all but two cases: dehydro-dt-3 and dehydro-dt-2 showed very low I50 values.

D004073	Digitoxigenin	3 beta,14-Dihydroxy-5 beta-card-20(22)enolide. A cardenolide which is the aglycon of digitoxin. Synonyms: Cerberigenin; Echujetin; Evonogenin; Thevetigenin.	Uzarigenin
D004076	Digoxigenin	3 beta,12 beta,14-Trihydroxy-5 beta-card-20(22)-enolide. A cardenolide which is the aglycon of digoxin. Can be obtained by hydrolysis of digoxin or from Digitalis orientalis L. and Digitalis lanata Ehrh.	Lanadigenin
D004077	Digoxin	A cardiotonic glycoside obtained mainly from Digitalis lanata; it consists of three sugars and the aglycone DIGOXIGENIN. Digoxin has positive inotropic and negative chronotropic activity. It is used to control ventricular rate in ATRIAL FIBRILLATION and in the management of congestive heart failure with atrial fibrillation. Its use in congestive heart failure and sinus rhythm is less certain. The margin between toxic and therapeutic doses is small.

D000254	Sodium-Potassium-Exchanging ATPase	An enzyme that catalyzes the active transport system of sodium and potassium ions across the cell wall. Sodium and potassium ions are closely coupled with membrane ATPase which undergoes phosphorylation and dephosphorylation, thereby providing energy for transport of these ions against concentration gradients.

D000818	Animals	Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.

D001711	Biotransformation	The chemical alteration of an exogenous substance by or in a biological system. The alteration may inactivate the compound or it may result in the production of an active metabolite of an inactive parent compound. The alterations may be divided into METABOLIC DETOXICATION, PHASE I and METABOLIC DETOXICATION, PHASE II.
