Table 1. Inhibitory effect of cardenolides ouabain, calotropin, and corotoxigenin 3-O-glucopyranoside on the enzymatic activity of Na+/K+-ATPase.
Compound | Inhibition of Na+/K+-ATPase IC50 (μM)a ± SD |
---|---|
Ouabainb | 0.12 ± 0.02 |
Calotropin | 0.27 ± 0.06 |
Corotoxigenin 3-O-glucopyranoside* | 0.87 ± 0.2 |
Notes:
Half maximal inhibitory. The results are expressed as IC50 ± standard deviation.
Ouabain was used as a positive control of inhibition of Na+/K+-ATPase.
Significative differences (p < 0.05) compared with the reference compound ouabain.
