Acetylthevetin A

CAS 1356494-03-5

Acetylthevetin A is a cardiac glycoside, a class of natural products with potent effects on heart muscle contractility, characterized by a steroid nucleus and a sugar moiety, further modified by an acetyl group. These compounds are typically isolated from plants, such as Thevetia peruviana, and are studied for their pharmacological properties and potential therapeutic applications, albeit with careful consideration of their toxicity.
