Product Information

• Name: 2-Hydroxy-7-o-methylscillascillin
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: 2-Hydroxy-7-o-methylscillascillin is a cardiac glycoside, which is a naturally occurring compound derived from certain plant sources such as members of the Liliaceae family. This glycoside has a potent effect on cardiac tissue, primarily by inhibiting the Na⁺/K⁺-ATPase pump. This inhibition leads to an increase in intracellular sodium concentration, which subsequently influences the sodium-calcium exchanger mechanism, resulting in an increased intracellular calcium concentration. This rise in calcium enhances cardiac contractility, making these compounds valuable in a research context for studying heart muscle physiology and potential therapeutic targets.
