Product Information

• Name: Oleandrin
• Synonyms: (3β,5β,16β)-16-(Acetyloxy)-3-[(2,6-dideoxy-3-O-methyl-α-L-arabino-hexopyranosyl)oxy]-14-hydroxycard-20(22)-enolideNeriolinCorrigen
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: Oleandrin is a naturally occurring toxic cardiac glycoside, which is a chemical compound extracted from the leaves and stems of the Nerium oleander plant. Its mode of action involves inhibiting the Na+/K+-ATPase pump, leading to an increase in intracellular sodium concentration and a secondary increase in intracellular calcium levels. This cascade of ion movements enhances cardiac contractility and can disrupt regular cardiac rhythm, which is a hallmark of cardiac glycosides.
