The obligate anaerobe Eubacterium lentum inactivated the cardiac glycoside digitoxin by reducing the double bond in the lactone ring. This conversion was quantitative when the substrate was incubated at a concentration of 10 micrograms/ml. The reduction reaction coincided with the growth phase of the bacterium. The stereochemical configuration at C-20 of the reduction product dihydrodigitoxin was found to be R. Incubation of digitoxigenin and its mono- and bisdigitoxosides individually with E. lentum led to the formation of their respective dihydro derivatives. The configuration at C-20 of these reduced metabolites was also found to be R.
专性厌氧菌迟缓真杆菌通过还原内酯环中的双键使强心苷洋地黄毒苷失活。当底物以10微克/毫升的浓度孵育时,这种转化是定量的。还原反应与细菌的生长阶段一致。发现还原产物二氢洋地黄毒苷在C-20处的立体化学构型为R。分别将洋地黄毒苷元及其单洋地黄毒糖苷和双洋地黄毒糖苷与迟缓真杆菌一起孵育,导致形成它们各自的二氢衍生物。还发现这些还原代谢物在C-20处的构型也是R。
