Cardiac glycosides isolated from the Indian-snuff, Maquira sclerophylla Ducke
Memorias do Instituto Oswaldo Cruz, 1991 The hydroalcoholic extract of the powdered bark of the Indian-snuff Maquira sclerophylla Ducke was purified by column chromatography in silica-gel and the major cardenolide isolated from preparative TLC was identified by 1H-NMR, 1 2 C-NMR and IR analyses.

A New Cytotoxic 19-Nor-cardenolide from the Latex of Antiaris toxicaria
Molecules, 2009 A new nor-cardenolide, named toxicarioside H (1), was isolated from the latex of Antiaris toxicaria (Pers.) Lesch (Moraceae). Its structure was elucidated on the basis of HRFAB-MS and spectroscopic techniques (IR, UV, 1D and 2D NMR).

New CNS depressant cardenolide glycoside from the roots of Nerium oleander
Results in Chemistry, 2020 A new central nervous system (CNS) depressant cardenolide glycoside named nerioleanderoside (1) was isolated from active n-butanol fraction of the aqueous- ethanolic (5:95 v/v) extract of the fresh dried roots of Nerium oleander.

Na,K-ATPase mediated and cardiotonic induced signaling in health and disease
Frontiers in PhysiologyIn the late 1950’s, Na,K-ATPase (NKA) was discovered as the active transport system that establishes and maintains the transmembrane Na+ and K+ gradients necessary for cell survival and function. Almost 70 years later, a novel unexpected function for NKA

Mycorrhizae Alter Toxin Sequestration and Performance of Two Specialist Herbivores
Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2018 Multitrophic species interactions are shaped by both top-down and bottom-up factors. Belowground symbionts of plants, such as arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF), can alter the strength of these forces by altering plant phenotype.
