Digitoolideid
Digitoolideid is a term that refers to a specific group of chemical compounds known as digitoolides. These compounds are part of the larger family of cardiac glycosides, which are steroids that have been found to have positive inotropic effects on the heart. The term "digitoolideid" is often used in scientific literature to describe the core structure of these compounds, which is derived from the plant genus Digitalis, commonly known as foxglove.
The digitoolideid structure is characterized by a specific arrangement of atoms, including a lactone ring attached
Several well-known cardiac glycosides, including digoxin and digitoxin, belong to the digitoolideid group. These compounds have
Research into digitoolideid compounds is ongoing, with scientists seeking to understand their mechanisms of action more
