D-Digitoxose (Cat No.: R054491) is a deoxy sugar with the molecular formula C₆H₁₂O₄, structurally related to D-glucose but lacking a hydroxyl group at the C-2 position. It is commonly found as a sugar moiety in cardiac glycosides such as digitoxin, where it contributes to the compound’s pharmacokinetics and biological activity. D-Digitoxose plays a crucial role in modulating the solubility, membrane permeability, and receptor interactions of glycoside molecules. It is also used in research involving glycosylation and structure–activity relationship (SAR) studies in medicinal chemistry.
