In vitro study | Rostafuroxin (PST 2238) competitively inhibits Ouabain (HY-B0542) binding and signaling. Rostafuroxin antagonizes the molecularand functional effects of Ouabain by reversing the ouabain-induced, Src-dependent Na + ,K + -ATPase phosphorylation and activation. Rostafuroxin (0.125-128 μM; for 24 h post treatment) has less than 20% reduction in cell viability in A549 cells and HSAEC. Rostafuroxin inhibits the expression of RSV-GFP in HSAEC (IC 50 =1.8 μM) and A549 cells (IC 50 =14.8 μM). Rostafuroxin displaced [ 3 H]Ouabain from the dog kidney Na + ,K + -ATPase receptor (IC50=1.5 nM), is devoid of cardiac inotropic activity in isolated guinea pig atria, and shows no affinity up to 10 -4 M with general (R1, R2, a1, a2, A1, A2, M1, M2, H1, H2, 5-HT1, 5-HT2, Ca2+ channels, TXA2/PGH2, PAF, GABAA, GABAB, DA-NE-5-HT uptake, glutammate,glycine, benzodiazepine) and hormonal (estrogenic, progestinic, androgenic, mineralcorticoid) receptors. |
