Application

Strophanthidin was used to synthesize acetylstrophanthidin and the effect on neurotransmitter release from dog saphenous vein was studied.3

Biochem/physiol Actions

Strophanthidin is a cardiotonic steroid that elevates the activity of Na+/K+-ATPase in cardiac myocytes.1 It decreases the potassium content and raises the sodium content in rabbit renal cortex slices.2

Glycoside-induced cardiac inotropy has traditionally been attributed to direct Na(+)-K(+)-ATPase inhibition, causing increased intracellular [Na(+)] and consequent Ca(2+) gain via the Na(+)-Ca(2+) exchanger (NCX). However, recent studies suggested alternative mechanisms of glycoside-induced inotropy: (1) direct activation of sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca(2+)

Recent work has suggested that Na(+)/Ca(2+) exchange (NCX) and L-type Ca(2+) current (I(Ca)) are located predominantly in the t-tubules of cardiac ventricular myocytes, which therefore represent a microdomain for the regulation of intracellular Na(+) (Na(i)) and Ca(2+) (Ca(i)). The aim
