Cardiac glycosides consist of a large family of naturally derived compounds that are clinically used to treat congestive heart failure, and also present anticancer properties. In this study, the cytotoxic effects of two cardenolides, digitoxigenin monodigitoxoside (DGX) and convallatoxin (CON) were
Cardiac glycosides (CGs) are natural compounds used to treat congestive heart failure. They have garnered attention as a potential cancer treatment option, especially because they bind to Na+/K+-ATPase as a target and activate intracellular signaling pathways leading to a variety of cellular
In spite their reduced therapeutic index, digitalis-type drugs continue being used for treating diseases such as congestive heart failure and chronic atrial fibrillation. Thanks to the development of several methods, their structural determination has been feasible, so, structural modifications have
Digitalis-like compounds (DLCs) such as digoxin, digitoxin, and ouabain, also known as cardiac glycosides, are among the oldest pharmacological treatments for heart failure. The compounds have a narrow therapeutic window, while at the same time, DLC pharmacokinetics is prone to drug-drug
The Na,K-ATPase belongs to the P-type ATPase family of primary active cation pumps. It maintains the transmembrane gradients of Na(+) and K(+) across the cell membrane essential for cell homeostasis. The Na,K-ATPase is specifically inhibited by cardiotonic steroids like ouabain, which bind to the
A new thermoresponsive polymer separation column was applied to simultaneous analysis of four cardiac glycosides (CGs) being widely used for the treatment of arrhythmias and heart failure in human blood and urine. This column is composed of an N-isopropylacrylamide polymer, the surface of which
All natural cardiac glycosides (CG) have a hydroxyl (OH) group attached to carbon 14 (C 14) of the steroid nucleus which has been considered important for their pharmacological action. To investigate the relation between chemical structure and biological activity of CG, we studied the cardiac
Cardiac glycosides, steroid derivatives extracted from the foxglove plants, have been used for the treatment of heart failure since the 18th century. A method based on liquid chromatography coupled with high-resolution tandem mass spectrometry (LC/MS2) has been developed to characterize
Plants of the Digitalis genus contain a cocktail of cardenolides commonly prescribed to treat heart failure. Cardenolides in Digitalis extracts have been conventionally quantified by high-performance liquid chromatography yet the lack of structural information compounded with possible co-eluents
The cardiac glycoside digitoxin, consisting of a steroid core linked to a labile trisaccharide, has been used for centuries for the treatment of congestive heart failure. The well known pharmacological effect is a result of the ability of cardiac glycosides to inhibit the Na(+), K(+)-ATPase. Within
Background: Cardiac glycosides (CGs), such as digitoxin, are traditionally used for treatment of congestive heart failure; recently they also gained attention for their anticancer properties. Previous studies showed that digitoxin and a
