New cardiotonic agents

open access: yesSeminars in Anesthesia, Perioperative Medicine and Pain, 1996
D RUGS THAT INCREASE the positive inotropic (ie, cardiotonic) potential of the myocardium are used in a variety of clinical settings. All catecholamines exert their inotropic effects by stimulating adrenergic mediated receptors in the sympathetic nervous system.

Propyl Gallate, a Strong Antioxidant, Increases the Ca2+ Sensitivity of Cardiac Myofilament

open access: yesJournal of Pharmacological Sciences, 2009
Ca2+ sensitizers are cardiotonic agents that directly increase the Ca2+ sensitivity of cardiac myofilament. To find a novel Ca2+ sensitizer, we have screened a group of phenolic compounds by examining their effects on the Ca2+-dependent force generation ...

Ouabain-Induced Cell Death and Survival. Role of α1-Na,K-ATPase-Mediated Signaling and [Na+]i/[K+]i-Dependent Gene Expression

open access: yesFrontiers in Physiology, 2020
Ouabain is of cardiotonic steroids (CTS) family that is plant-derived compounds and is known for many years as therapeutic and cytotoxic agents. They are specific inhibitors of Na,K-ATPase, the enzyme, which pumps Na+ and K+ across plasma membrane of ...

"Oxygen sensing" by Na,K-ATPase: These miraculous thiols [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Control over the Na,K-ATPase function plays a central role in adaptation of the organisms to hypoxic and anoxic conditions. As the enzyme itself does not possess O2 binding sites its "oxygen-sensitivity" is mediated by a variety of redox-sensitive ...

Omecamtiv mecarbil augments cardiomyocyte contractile activity both at resting and systolic Ca2+ levels

open access: yesESC Heart Failure, 2023
Aims Heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) is a disease with high mortality and morbidity. Recent positive inotropic drug developments focused on cardiac myofilaments, that is, direct activators of the myosin molecule and Ca2+ sensitizers ...

Bioinspired Synthesis of Twin abeo‐Steroids Bufogargarizins A and B via a Divergent Intramolecular Aldol Addition Reaction

open access: yesAngewandte Chemie, Volume 138, Issue 2, 9 January 2026.
Twin natural products. This manuscript describes a concise biomimetic synthesis of twin abeo‐steroids bufogargarizins A and B with an unusual [7.5.6.5] and [5.7.6.5] skeletons in 19 steps (LLS). The described synthetic approach features the application of a bioinspired regiodivergent intramolecular aldol addition reaction and a selective singlet oxygen‐
