[Preparation of biologically transformed raw material from woolly foxglove Digitalis lanata Ehrh and isolation of digoxin from it].
A biotechnological approach is proposed for conservation of a terraneous part of woolly foxglove under anaerobic conditions with a subsequent air-sun drying of the biologically transformed raw material. During the conservation primary foxglove glycosides completely convert to secondary ones which do not transform further. A simple method is described for preparation from the transformed raw material of an enriched glycoside fraction with the yield of 3.6% and for isolation from this fraction of highly purified digoxin with the yield of 0.06% of the starting raw material, and the other secondary glycosides can be also isolated.
