The four stereoisomers of the 2-hydroxy derivatives of digitoxigenin and 3-epidigitoxigenin have been synthesized, their structures established by NMR, and their binding affinity for the digitalis receptor on Na+, K(+)-ATPase evaluated. These derivatives showed lower affinities than the parent compounds.
