Occurrence
editOleandrdose is found in the leaves of Nerium oleander and may contribute to the toxicity of the plant.[1][2] Oleandrose is also a component of several naturally-occurring chemical compounds including the avermectins (emamectin, abamectins, ivermectin, and others), the macrolide antibiotic oleandomycin, and the cardiac glycoside oleandrin.
Laboratory syntheses of L-oleandrose[3] and DL-oleandrose[4] have been reported.
