Abstract:
Two undescribed cardiac glycosides, strasperoside K (1) and L (2), together with five known analogs (3-7), were isolated from Streblus asper Lour. Their structures were elucidated on the basis of spectroscopic analysis and chemical methods. The inhibitory activities of isolated compounds against porcine epidemic diarrhea virus (PEDV) and six strains of pathogenic bacteria were evaluated.

516
Positive inotropic agents are commonly used as the first line of treatment for heart failure. One such agent is digoxin, derived from the genus Digitalis, which has been known for centuries but effectively utilized since 1785. However, these cardiac glycosides can have potentially toxic effects due to their mechanism of action, which involves inhibiting Na+/K+-ATPase and increasing contractility. Digoxin is absorbed orally and distributed in various tissues, including the CNS. It has a long...

Enzyme-linked receptors are cell-surface receptors acting as an enzyme or associating with an enzyme intracellularly. They make excellent drug targets. Drugs can bind to the extracellular ligand-binding domain or directly affect their enzymatic domain and alter their activity.
