iv, 25 p.Plants produce an array of secondary defense compounds to combat herbivory. However, secondary compounds in nectar seem to serve a paradoxical function, since nectar is commonly used to attract insect pollinators.

Cardenolides are classically studied steroidal defenses in chemical ecology and plant-herbivore coevolution. Although milkweed plants (Asclepias spp.) produce up to 200 structurally different cardenolides, all compounds seemingly share the same well ...

A cardenolide intermediate: 15-Androstene-3 [beta], 14 [beta]-diol-17-one 3-Monoacetate.
It has been established "that both a 14 [beta] -hydroxyl group and a 17 [beta] —lactone ring are essential for a cardenolide to possess its specific heart stimulatory activity.
