Product Information

• Name: Scillascilloside B-1
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: Scillascilloside B-1 is a cardiac glycoside, which is derived from plants of the Drimia genus, commonly known as squill. This compound is part of a class of secondary metabolites produced by the plant as a defense mechanism against herbivores and pathogens. The primary mode of action of Scillascilloside B-1 involves the inhibition of the Na+/K+-ATPase enzyme. This inhibition leads to an increased intracellular concentration of sodium ions, which indirectly causes an increase in intracellular calcium levels through the sodium-calcium exchange mechanism. The result is a positive inotropic effect on cardiac tissue, making it of particular interest in cardiovascular research.
