- Product Overview:
Digitoxin is a cardiac glycoside that has been found in Digitalis and has diverse biological activities.{29469,52442,52443,52444,52445} It inhibits human recombinant ?1?1, ?2?2, and ?3?1 subunit-containing Na+/K+-ATPases with Ki values of 250, 63, and 136 nM, respectively.{29469} Digitoxin inhibits the human-ether-a-go-go (hERG) potassium channel, also known as Kv11.1, in HEK293 cells expressing hERG (IC50 = 11.1 nM).{52442} It enhances developed tension and contractile force in electrically stimulated isolated guinea pig left atrial muscle when used at concentrations of 0.2 and 0.4 µM, respectively.{52443} Dietary administration of digitoxin (~1 mg/kg per day) attenuates congestive heart failure and reduces myocardial hypertrophy in a rat model of myocardial infarction induced by coronary artery ligation.{52444} Digitoxin is also cytotoxic to a panel of 10 human cancer cell lines, including myeloma, lymphoma, and leukemia cancer cells, with IC50 values ranging from 12 to 76 nM.{52445} Formulations containing digitoxin have previously been used in the treatment of congestive heart failure and cardiac arrhythmias.
Cayman Chemical’s mission is to help make research possible by supplying scientists worldwide with the basic research tools necessary for advancing human and animal health. Our utmost commitment to healthcare researchers is to offer the highest quality products with an affordable pricing policy.
Our scientists are experts in the synthesis, purification, and characterization of biochemicals ranging from small drug-like heterocycles to complex biolipids, fatty acids, and many others. We are also highly skilled in all aspects of assay and antibody development, protein expression, crystallization, and structure determination.
Over the past thirty years, Cayman developed a deep knowledge base in lipid biochemistry, including research involving the arachidonic acid cascade, inositol phosphates, and cannabinoids. This knowledge enabled the production of reagents of exceptional quality for cancer, oxidative injury, epigenetics, neuroscience, inflammation, metabolism, and many additional lines of research.
Our organic and analytical chemists specialize in the rapid development of manufacturing processes and analytical methods to carry out clinical and commercial GMP-API production. Pre-clinical drug discovery efforts are currently underway in the areas of bone restoration and repair, muscular dystrophy, oncology, and inflammation. A separate group of Ph.D.-level scientists are dedicated to offering Hit-to-Lead Discovery and Profiling Services for epigenetic targets. Our knowledgeable chemists can be contracted to perform complete sample analysis for analytes measured by the majority of our assays. We also offer a wide range of analytical services using LC-MS/MS, HPLC, GC, and many other techniques.
