Digalogenin is a steroidal compound that acts as a precursor in the synthesis of various bioactive molecules, including some drugs. It is commonly used in the production of cardiac glycosides, which are compounds that influence heart function. The mechanism of digalogenin involves its role in modifying steroid structures, specifically as a substrate for the halogenation process, which leads to the creation of potent compounds like digoxin, used in treating heart failure and arrhythmias.
