Scope note: Ciclopentanofenantrenos con un anillo de lactona de 5 o 6 miembros en la posición 17 y AZÚCARES unidos en la posición 3. Las plantas de las que proceden se han utilizado durante mucho tiempo en el tratamiento de la insuficiencia cardiaca congestiva. Aumentan la fuerza de la contracción cardíaca sin incrementar significativamente otros parámetros, pero son muy tóxicos en altas dosis. Su mecanismo de acción suele implicar la inhibición de la ATPASA INTERCAMBIADORA DE SODIO-POTASIO, y se utilizan a menudo en estudios de biología celular con ese propósito.

Scope note: Cyclopentanophenanthrenes with a 5- or 6-membered lactone ring attached at the 17-position and SUGARS attached at the 3-position. Plants they come from have long been used in congestive heart failure. They increase the force of cardiac contraction without significantly affecting other parameters, but are very toxic at larger doses. Their mechanism of action usually involves inhibition of the NA(+)-K(+)-EXCHANGING ATPASE and they are often used in cell biological studies for that purpose.
