Strophanthins
A number of different cardioactive glycosides obtained from Strophanthus species. OUABAIN is from S. gratus and CYMARINE from S. kombe. They are used like the digitalis glycosides.

- " It was shown in experiments on rats with experimental ischemic myocardial infarction that strophanthin inhibits free-radical lipid peroxidation, decreases (in mean and little doses) the ectopic activity of the myocardium, eliminates tachyarrhythmias arising in the presence of coronary occlusion, delays the appearance on the ECG of changes characteristic for acute myocardial infarction. " 08/01/1990
- " biomass grown in tissue culture was effective in arresting canine ventricular arrhythmias induced by coronary occlusion, strophanthin and epinephrine, displaying antiarrhythmic effects in aconitine-induced intoxication of rats and substantially elevating the threshold of ventricular fibrillations in cats. " 03/01/1988
- " On six models of arrhythmias of atrial and ventricular types (induced by administration of aconitine, chlorcalcium, chlorbarium, strophanthin, chloroform-adrenaline and by coronary occlusion) it was shown that in rats, cats and rabbits the antiarrhythmic, preventive and relieving activity of brevicarine dichlorhydrate exceeded that of quinidine, novocainamide and lidocaine in power by 3-5 times and in duration by 3-18 times."
