Description

β-Acetyldigoxin is a cardiac glycoside, which is a naturally derived chemical compound primarily sourced from Digitalis lanata, a species of the foxglove plant. These compounds exert their effects by inhibiting the Na+/K+-ATPase enzyme, leading to an increase in intracellular calcium concentrations. This mechanism enhances myocardial contractility, contributing to its positive inotropic effects, which are essential in treating heart-related ailments.
