| lanatoside D | A digitales glycoside from the leaves of Digitalis lanata, yielding the genin diginatigenin (12-hydroxygitoxigenin; 16-hydroxydigoxigenin). (05 Mar 2000) |
| lanatosides | <chemical> Glycosides from digitalis lanata leaf. Lantoside c has actions similar to digoxin. Mixtures or lantosides a, b, and c have also been used. Pharmacological action: anti-arrhythmia agents, cardiotonic agent, enzyme inhibitors. (12 Dec 1998) |
| lanatosides A, B, and C | Digilanides A, B, and C; the cardioactive precursor glycosides obtained from Digitalis lanata. Removal of the acetyl group yields desacetyllanatosides A, B, and C (purpurea glycosides A, B, and C, respectively); removal of the glucose from lanatosides A, B, and C yields acetyldigitoxin, acetylgitoxin, and acetyldigoxin, respectively; removal of glucose and the acetyl group yields digitoxin, gitoxin, and digoxin, respectively. See: purpurea glycosides A. (05 Mar 2000) |
