Discovery of Ro 41‐0960, a Non‐Steroidal Inhibitor of the Na+/K+‐ATPase [PDF]
Ro 41‐0960 is a non‐steroidal Na+/K+‐ATPase inhibitor with low micromolar potency and a mixed inhibitory mechanism distinct from classical cardiotonic steroids, without acute pro‐arrhythmic effects in human cardiomyocytes. The Na+/K+‐ATPase (NKA) is a central regulator of cardiac ion homeostasis and a validated target for heart failure.

Na/K-ATPase in the renal proximal tubule cell: classic & novel roles in sodium handling [PDF]
The cell membrane Na/K-ATPase (NKA), the archetypal P-type ATPase, is the enzymatic complex that hydrolyzes ATP to transport Na+ and K+ against their transmembrane electrochemical gradients.

Neuroinflammation and Neutrophils: Modulation by Ouabain
Cardiotonic steroids are natural compounds that present many physiological and pharmacological functions. They bind Na+/K+-ATPase (NKA) modifying cellular ion concentration and trigger cell signaling mechanisms without altering ion balance.

Effect of ouabain on calcium signaling in rodent brain: A systematic review of in vitro studies
The Na+/K+-ATPase is an integral membrane ion pump, essential to maintaining osmotic balance in cells in the presence of cardiotonic steroids; more specifically, ouabain can be an endogenous modulator of the Na+/K+-ATPase. Here, we conducted a systematic

Steroids—has the time come to extend their use to AML?
Background In 2018, leukaemia accounted for 2.6% of all new cancers, it being the 13th most common cause of cancer and the 10th most common cause of cancer death. Glucocorticoids are commonly used in lymphoid leukaemia treatment, where they are cytotoxic.

Na/K-ATPase amplification of oxidant stress; a universal but unrecognized clinical target?
The Na/K-ATPase has a signaling function which appears to be separate from its ion pumping function. This signaling function refers to the transduction of conformational changes in the Na/K-ATPase alpha1 subunit into activating Src’s tyrosine kinase ...
