21'-Di-dehydro-deacetyllanatoside C, a biotransformation product of deacetyllanatoside C from senescent shoot cultures of Digitalis lanata.

Feeding deacetyllanatoside C to senescent shoot cultures of Digitalis lanata resulted in the formation of a new product, which was isolated by semi-preparative HPLC. The molecular structure was elucidated by means of HPLC-mass spectrometry and NMR as 21'-di-dehydro-deacetyllanatoside C.
