Escenarios de aplicación

1. Cardiovascular Medicine

  • Chronic Heart Failure:
    • A mainstay in the treatment of mild to moderate chronic heart failure, especially in patients with reduced ejection fraction. It improves symptoms such as dyspnea and fatigue, and reduces hospitalizations. Usually prescribed at low doses (0.125 – 0.25 mg/day), with the dosage adjusted based on patient response and serum digoxin levels.
  • Atrial Fibrillation and Atrial Flutter:
    • Used to control the ventricular rate, helping to maintain a more regular and manageable heart rhythm. By slowing the conduction through the AV node, it prevents the ventricles from beating too rapidly in response to the irregular atrial contractions.
  • Supraventricular Tachycardia:
    • In some cases, employed to terminate or prevent episodes of supraventricular tachycardia by affecting the electrical conduction in the heart.

2. Investigación clínica

  • Cardiac Physiology Studies:
    • Serves as a tool for researchers to study the function of the sodium – potassium ATPase pump and its role in cardiac muscle contraction and electrical activity. By manipulating digoxin levels, scientists can observe the impact on various cardiac parameters.
  • Drug Interaction Research:
    • Investigated to understand its interactions with other medications commonly used in cardiovascular patients, such as diuretics (which can increase the risk of digoxin toxicity due to potassium depletion) and certain antibiotics. This knowledge helps in optimizing drug regimens and preventing adverse drug – drug interactions.
  • Development of New Therapies:
    • Studied to inspire the development of novel inotropic agents or drugs that target the cardiac electrical system. Its mechanism of action provides insights for creating more effective and safer treatments for heart diseases.

Métodos de detección

  • Cromatografía líquida de alta resolución (HPLC):
    • Column: C18 (250 × 4.6 mm, 5 μm), Mobile Phase: Acetonitrile – 0.1% formic acid (25:75 v/v), Flow Rate: 1.0 mL/min, Detection Wavelength: 230 nm for quantification.
  • Immunoassay:
    • Widely used in clinical laboratories for rapid measurement of digoxin levels in serum or plasma. Methods such as fluorescence polarization immunoassay (FPIA) and chemiluminescent immunoassay (CLIA) offer high sensitivity and specificity, allowing for quick assessment of therapeutic and toxic levels.
  • Cromatografía líquida – Espectrometría de masas (LC – MS):
    • Employed for more accurate identification and quantification, especially in research settings or when dealing with complex biological samples. It can distinguish digoxin from its metabolites and other interfering substances, providing detailed information about the drug’s presence and concentration.

Digoxin: Nature’s Potent Cardiac Glycoside | High-Purity Extracts by Zhonghong Tech

1. What is Digoxin?

Digoxin is a potent cardiac glycoside derived primarily from the foxglove plant (Digitalis lanata y purpurea). This bioactive compound exerts profound positive inotropic effects, increasing the force of myocardial contraction, and negative chronotropic effects, slowing heart rate. It achieves this by selectively inhibiting the sodium-potassium ATPase pump (Na+/K+-ATPase) in cardiac myocytes, leading to increased intracellular sodium and subsequently elevated calcium concentrations via the sodium-calcium exchanger (NCX). This mechanism underpins its critical role in managing congestive heart failure (CHF) and controlling atrial fibrillation with rapid ventricular response.

2. Source, Chemical Properties & Identifiers

  • Fuente: Bio-extracted from leaves of Digitalis lanata (preferred for higher yield) via multi-step solvent extraction and chromatography.

  • Naturaleza química: Steroidal glycoside (Cardenolide). Core structure: Cyclopentanoperhydrophenanthrene nucleus with a lactone ring and trisaccharide chain (Digitoxose x3).

  • Número CAS: 20830-75-5

  • Fórmula molecular (MF): C₄₁H₆₄O₁₄

  • Peso molecular (PM): 780.95 g/mol

  • EINECS: 244-068-1

3. Benefits, Potency, Dosage & Safety

  • Best Source & Highest Content: Zhonghong Tech utilizes premium D. lanata cultivars and proprietary counter-current chromatography (CCC) technology, yielding digoxin extracts exceeding 99.5% HPLC purity – significantly above industry standard (typically 98%). This minimizes toxic impurities like digitoxin.

  • Beneficios para la salud y mecanismo:

    • Heart Failure: Enhances cardiac output by strengthening systolic contraction (positive inotropy).

    • Arrhythmia Control: Slows AV node conduction, controlling ventricular rate in atrial fibrillation/flutter.

    • Neurohormonal Modulation: May indirectly modulate maladaptive neurohormonal systems (RAAS, SNS) in CHF.

  • Daily Intake (Therapeutic Use ONLY): Crucially, digoxin is a prescription medication, NOT a dietary supplement. Dosing is highly individualized (typical range: 0.125 – 0.25 mg/day). Requires strict medical supervision and therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) targeting serum levels of 0.5-0.9 ng/mL to avoid toxicity.

  • Critical Precautions & Side Effects:
