Biosynthesis of digitoxin in Digitalis purpurea

Simultaneous administration of a mixture of [21-3H]-3β, 20ξ-dihydroxy-23-nor-5β-cholanoic acid and [21-14C]-3β-hydroxy-5β-pregnan-20-one to Digitalis purpurea intact plants produced double labelled digitoxin. The 3H: 14C ratio of the cardenolide was considerably higher than the 3H: 14C ratio of the...
