The cardiac glycoside natural product digitoxin was selectively glycosylated at one of its five hydroxyl groups using a borinic acid derived catalyst. This method provided access to the glycosylation pattern characteristic of a subclass of natural products from Digitalis purpurea.

The Journal of urology, 184(5), 2158-2164 (2010-09-21)
While cardiac glycosides are the mainstay of congestive heart failure treatment, early studies showed that pharmacological doses of cardiac glycosides inhibited prostate cancer cell line proliferation. We evaluated the mechanisms of cardiac glycosides, including digoxin, digitoxin and ouabain (Sigma®), on

Mechanisms of digitoxin-inhibited cell growth and induced apoptosis in human non-small cell lung cancer (NCI-H460) cells remain unclear. Understanding how digitoxin or derivate analogs induce their cytotoxic effect below therapeutically relevant concentrations will help in designing and developing novel, safer

Expert opinion on therapeutic targets, 11(8), 1043-1053 (2007-08-02)
Accumulating preclinical and clinical data suggest that the cardiac drug digitoxin might be used in cancer therapy. Recent reports have shown that digitoxin can inhibit the growth and induce apoptosis in cancer cells at concentrations commonly found in the plasma
