The asymmetric unit contains two independent molecules(I and Ⅱ), which are closely similar to each other except for the orientation of the lactone ring. Both conformations of I and Ⅱ are in good agreement with the solution structure in methanol as indicated by 1H-NMR analysis. Due to the presence of heavy atom sulfur in the molecules, the final refinement resulted in a small Flack parameter 0.02(3), permitting the assignments of the absolute configuration. In the solid state, intermolecular hydrogen bonds involving thiocarbonyl group in the lactone moiety and the hydroxyl groups in the steroid moiety ester linked adjacent molecules into a three-dimensional network. Compound 1 showed weak inhibition on Na+/K+-ATPase in contrast to the strong inhibitory activity of the parent compound bufalin, suggesting that the carbonyl group in lactone moiety and the hydroxyl group at C-14 play important roles for the inhibition of Na+/K+-ATPase.
