Digitoxin has repeatedly shown to have negative effects on cancer cell viability; however, the actual mechanism is still unknown. In this study, we investigated the effects of digitoxin (1–100 nM) in four pancreatic cancer cell lines, BxPC-3, CFPAC-1 ...

Repurposing Cardiac Glycosides: Drugs for Heart Failure Surmounting Viruses
Drug repositioning is a successful approach in medicinal research. It significantly simplifies the long-term process of clinical drug evaluation, since the drug being tested has already been approved for another condition.

Quo vadis Cardiac Glycoside Research?
Cardiac glycosides (CGs), toxins well-known for numerous human and cattle poisoning, are natural compounds, the biosynthesis of which occurs in various plants and animals as a self-protective mechanism to prevent grazing and predation.

Na+/K+-ATPase Revisited: On Its Mechanism of Action, Role in Cancer, and Activity Modulation
Maintenance of Na+ and K+ gradients across the cell plasma membrane is an essential process for mammalian cell survival. An enzyme responsible for this process, sodium-potassium ATPase (NKA), has been currently extensively studied as a potential ...

Classical Drug Digitoxin Inhibits Influenza Cytokine Storm, With Implications for Covid-19 Therapy
Background/Aim: Influenza viruses, corona viruses and related pneumotropic viruses cause sickness and death partly by inducing cytokine storm, a hyper-proinflammatory host response by immune cells and cytokines in the host airway.

Optimal designs for random effect models with correlated errors with applications in population pharmacokinetics [PDF]
We consider the problem of constructing optimal designs for population pharmacokinetics which use random effect models. It is common practice in the design of experiments in such studies to assume uncorrelated errors for each subject.

1 Nine healthy volunteers received single 1 mg intravenous doses of digitoxin, following which serum digitoxin concentrations were measured at multiple points in time over the next 14 days. 2 Mean kinetic variables for digitoxin were: volume of distribution, 0.76 l/kg; elimination half‐life, 8 days; total clearance, 0.049 ml min‐1 kg‐1.
