Abstract:
Cardioactive 3 Beta -hydroxy-14,15 Beta -epoxy-5 Beta cardenolide-or -5 Beta -bufadienolide-glucosides and rhamnosides. A method for making these compounds by reacting the corresponding 14-anhydrocardenolides or 14-anhydrobufadienolides with an acylhalopyranose, reacting the resultant acylated pyranoside with a hypohalous acid to form the corresponding halohydrin, and epoxidizing the halohydrin with a base.
Abstract:
wherein R is hydrogen or alkanoyl or alkyl having 1 to 5 carbon atoms are described as well as two processes for their preparation. The compounds show positive inotropic action and are suitable for treating heart diseases.
Digitoxigenin-3- Alpha -(L-rhamnopyranoside-2'',3''cyclocarbonates) of the general formula I
Abstract:
A METHOD FOR SYNTHESIZING ESTERS IN WHICH THE ACID MOIETY IS THAT OF A HYDROXY ACID AND THE ALCOHOL MOIETY IS A 3-HYDROXY-CARDENOLIDE OR 3-HYDOXY-BUFADIENOLIDE, BY ESTERIFYING THE STEROL WITH AN ACID ANHYDRIDE OR AN ACID CHLORIDE OF THE HYDROXY ACID, THE HYDROXY GROUPS OF WHICH HAVE BEEN ACETALIZED OR KETALIZED, AND THEN SELECTIVELY REMOVING SAID ACETAL OR KETAL GROUPS BY ACID HYDROLYSIS. CARDI-ACTIVE OXY-ESTERS PRODUCED BY THIS METHOD.
Abstract:
Cardioactive 3-amino-cardenolides and a method for preparing them by reacting a 3-oxo-cardenolide with hydroxylamine or its salts to form a cardenolide-3-oxime and then catalytically hydrogenating this intermediate.

Abstract:
Peptides of the formula I X-Arg-Val-Tyr-Ile-His-Pro-Phegly-OH (I) in which X represents the radical of an aliphatic carboxylic acid of up to 5 carbon atoms or the phthalic acid radical, and Phegly-OH represents L-C-phenylglycine, and a process of preparing them by condensing the O-tert. butyl ester of compound I, in which tyrosine is protected by tert. butyl, and X represents hydrogen, with carboxylic acids of the formula X-OH, in which X has the first mentioned meaning, according to the condensation methods usually employed in peptide chemistry.
Abstract:
The invention relates to 3'', 4''-anhydro- Beta , Ltalomethylosides of the general formula I
wherein R1 is methyl or formyl and R2 stands for Beta -H or Beta -OH, if there is no double bond in 4,5-position, and R3 is a butenolide or cumalin ring, a process for preparing them and their use in the treatment of cardiac and circulatory disturbances. The compounds are especially suitable for treating cardiac insufficiency, tachycardia and conduction defects.
