Description

Digitonin, a glycoside obtained from Digitalis purpurea, could increase cell permeability by binding to cholesterol molecules and reduce tumor growth[1]. Digitonin is an natural detergent[2].

In Vitro

Digitonin, a detergent that increases cell permeability by binding to cholesterol molecules in the cell membrane, can increase cisplatin accumulation and reduce tumour growth in vitro[1].

MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.

In Vivo

In the liver parenchyma the concentrations are of the same magnitude. Measured with the 133Xe-clearance technique, Digitonin does not alter the tumor blood flow. Digitonin enhances the tumor-growth retarding effect of CBDCA given intra-aterially at 5 mg/kg but not at 25 mg/kg[1].

Help & FAQs
  • Do most proteins show cross-species activity?

    Species cross-reactivity must be investigated individually for each product. Many human cytokines will produce a nice response in mouse cell lines, and many mouse proteins will show activity on human cells. Other proteins may have a lower specific activity when used in the opposite species.
