inotropic

Forskolin (Coleonol) is a natural product, an adenylate cyclase activator (EC50=0.5 μM). Forskolin increases cAMP levels, activates PXR and FXR, and induces autophagy. Forskolin produces positive inotropic effects in the heart, and has platelet anticoagulant and antihypertensive effects.

Dobutamine hydrochloride (Dobutamine (hydrochloride)) is a catecholamine that acts as a β-adrenergic receptor agonist with potent positive inotropic effects.

Pseudoginsenoside F11 (Ginsenoside A1) is a component of Panax quinquefolium (American ginseng) which main pharmacological activities are positive inotropic effect on isolated heart function, good therapeutic effect on myocardial ischemia, and good protective effect on cardio-cerebrovascular system and nervous system.

1. Delsoline (Belsoline) has hypotensive effects.2. Delsoline is not only effective in preventing ventricular fibrillation and arrythmia, but can raise the intebsity of the threthold of electrical shocks to cause ventricular fibrillation in rabbits, the antiarrythmic effect of it may be mainly attributed to itsganglionic blocking and negative cardiac inotropic effect.

N-methyltaxol C and paclitaxel can produce a positive inotropic effect in papillary muscle, without alterations in the action potential. They can induced conduction arrhythmias and reduce coronary flow and left ventricular systolic pressure in the isolate

Saucerneol has significant cardiovascular effects such as vasorelaxant and negative inotropic actions.
