oleandrin

1. Oleandrin (Folinerin), the principal cardiac glycoside component of PBI-524, can quantitatively account for regulation of BDNF at both the protein and transcriptional levels. 2. Oleandrin are known to inhibit the Na, K-ATPase pump, resulting in a consequent increase in calcium influx in heart muscle. 3. Oleandrin has stronger anti-proliferative activity in undifferentiated CaCO-2 cells (IC50, 8.25 nM) , causes an autophagic cell death and altered ERK phosphorylation in undifferentiated.

An antitumor agent containing at least one compound selected from the group consisting of nerigoside, oleandrigenin, sarmentoside, oleaside A, oleandrin, 8β-hydroxy odoroside A, narciclasine, trans-dihydronarciclasine and bisdeoxynarciclasine is provided, this antitumor agent has an advantage of having an excellent therapeutic effect of tumor and less side effects.
