Fate of C-24 hydrogen atoms of cholesterol during its conversion into tigogenin in Digitalis lanata

Abstract

(24R)-[24-3H]- and (24S)-[24-3H]-cholesterols are transformed into tigogenin [(25R)-5α-spirostan-3β-ol] in Digitalis lanata without involvement of the hydrogen atoms at C-24; this confirms that the reduction of the Δ24-precursor of cholesterol is a ‘trans’ process.
