A permissive steroid glycosyltransferase (UGT74AN1) from Asclepias curassavica exhibited robust capabilities for the regiospecific C3 glycosylation of cardiotonic steroids and C21 steroid precursors, and unprecedented promiscuity toward 53 structurally diverse natural and unnatural compounds to form O-, N-, and S-glycosides, along with the catalytic reversibility for a one-pot transglycosylation reaction. These findings highlight UGT74AN1 as the first regiospecific catalyst for cardiotonic steroid C3 glycosylation and exhibit significant potential for glycosylation of diverse bioactive molecules in drug discovery.

An improved procedure has been developed for preparing glycosides of cardenolide genins. The method uses specially prepared Fetizon's reagent as catalyst, combined, in most cases, with mercuric cyanide and mercuric bromide. In the presence of this catalyst, genins react readily, at room temperature, with per-acetylated 1-bromo-sugars to give the acetylated glycosides in high yield with little or no side reaction. The reaction proceeds almost to completion in 30 to 60 min. The free glycoside is obtained by mild deacetylation using triethylamine/methanol/water (20:20:1) at room temperature for 72 h. Proof of structure was obtained using chemical ionization mass spectrometry, NMR spectroscopy and comparison of physical constants with published data. The compounds were tested for inotropic activity using the isolated guinea pig atrium.
