Cardenamides from cardenolides: Cardiac and anticancer activities

open access: yes, 2002
Two ways are shown to transform cardioactive cardenolides into cardenamides [17{beta}-(5-oxo-2,5-dihydropyrrol-3-yl)-5{beta},14{beta}-androstane derivatives], and their derivatives by replacement of their ring oxygen by N-R.
