About this plant
The leaves of Digitalis purpurea contain digitoxin, a cardiac glycoside first isolated by Schmiedeberg in 1875 that inhibits the Na+/K+-ATPase pump. William Withering published his landmark study in 1785, documenting the treatment of dropsy based on a folk remedy from a Shropshire herbalist, in one of the earliest systematic clinical studies in pharmacology.
