Cardiac glycosides and sodium/potassium-ATPase.

K Greeff, A A Fox

    Basic Research in Cardiology
    |January 1, 1984
    PubMed
    Summary

    Cardiac glycosides bind to the sodium/potassium-ATPase pump, impacting ion transport and heart contraction. Long-term use may increase pump concentration, potentially explaining tolerance to these drugs.

    Area of Science:

    • Biochemistry
    • Pharmacology
    • Cardiology

    Background:

    • The sodium/potassium-ATPase (NKA) is the cell membrane receptor for cardiac glycosides.
    • Cardiac glycosides inhibit NKA, altering sodium and calcium ion concentrations within cells.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the mechanism behind cardiac glycoside tolerance.
    • To explore the relationship between NKA activity and cardiac glycoside efficacy.

    Main Methods:

    • Literature review of current research on cardiac glycosides and NKA.
    • Analysis of existing data on NKA activity and binding site concentration.
    • Pharmacological and biochemical interpretation of observed effects.

    Main Results:

    • Cardiac glycoside inhibition of NKA decreases sodium/potassium-ion transport.
    • This inhibition indirectly increases intracellular calcium, enhancing cardiac contractility.
    • Long-term cardiac glycoside treatment can increase NKA activity and binding site concentration in certain tissues.

    Conclusions:

    • Increased NKA concentration after prolonged cardiac glycoside exposure may lead to drug tolerance.
    • Understanding NKA modulation is crucial for managing cardiac glycoside therapy and its side effects.
