CLASSIFICATION

Glycoside, Steroid, Saponin

EXTRA NOTES

A glycoside obtained from Digitalis purpurea; the aglycone is digitogenin which is bound to five sugars. Digitonin solubilizes lipids, especially in membranes and is used as a tool in cellular biochemistry, and reagent for precipitating cholesterol. It has no cardiac effects MeSH
Other RN: 35-62-1, 52781-76-7
