The conformational analysis of LTD4 in D2O was carried out based on the analysis of vicinal proton–proton coupling constants, nonselective proton longitudinal relaxation times, and nuclear Overhauser effect data. The H6—C6 to C12 region of the molecule is transoid, the predominant rotamer about C5—C6 is gauche, and two rotamers can be used to describe the rotation about C12—C13. There are three rotamers that can be used to describe the rotation about the C21—C22 bond of cysteine. Finally, chelation between an Yb3+, shift reagents and LTD4 was not observed.

The 1H and 13C NMR spectra of the cardenolide ouabain and its aglycon ouabagenin have been completely assigned by two-dimensional NMR techniques, including phase-sensitive COSY and carbon–proton correlation (HETCOR, HMQC, and COLOC) spectra. The major conformer of these two compounds in solution is all-chair as determined from proton–proton coupling constants and is similar to that in the crystal lattice as previously determined by X-ray diffraction. The conformations of the A and D rings of ouabain in water are somewhat different than in DMSO/CDCl3 (2:1). At lower temperatures (−20 °C) signals from two conformers in slow exchange were readily observed in the 13C spectra, with an approximate ratio of 1:7. Molecular mechanics and dynamics calculations indicate that the conformational process responsible for this involves a chair/twist-boat interconversion of the A ring, with the all-chair conformer highly preferred. Keywords: ouabain, conformational analysis, 2-D NMR, molecular mechanics, molecular dynamics.
