Title:	Cardenamides from cardenolides: Cardiac and anticancer activities
Creators Name:	Megges, R., Weiland, J., Schoen, R., Repke, H. and Repke, K.R.H.
Abstract:	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. Cardioactivity is strongly decreased by this transformation. The comparatively easily accessible 21-oxocardenamides [17{beta}-(2-maleimidyl)steroids] are strongly thiol reactive and show remarkable anticancer activity.
