Background: Digitalis glycosides derived from foxglove plants have been used for medicinal purposes since the 16th century. Currently, digoxin derived from foxgloves is used clinically. Owing to the narrow therapeutic range, therapeutic drug monitoring is essential; however, digoxin immunoassays suffer from interference.

Objective: Digoxin is a glycosidic, cardiotonic plant extract with a narrow therapeutic window. The purpose of the study was to investigate the effects of purple grape juice on the pharmacokinetics of digoxin in rats.
Materials And Methods: A randomized, controlled, single- and multiple-dose study was conducted to evaluate the pharmacokinetic profiles of orally and intravenously administered digoxin.

Endogenous digitalis-like factors (EDLFs) appear to be hypertensiogenic and increased in the serum and placenta of women with preeclampsia (PE), a complication of pregnancy. Digibind, an anti-digoxin antibody Fab fragment, reverses in vitro effects of EDLF and in vivo features of PE. We used Digibind in a radioimmunoassay to measure EDLF and compared this to a bio-functional assay of EDLF with good agreement.

Background: Endogenous hydrogen sulfide is a new neuromodulator which takes part in the regulation of central nervous system physiology and diseases. Whether endogenous hydrogen sulfide in the central nervous system regulates cardiovascular activity is not known. In the present study, we observed the hemodynamic changes of hydrogen sulfide or its precursor by intracerebroventricular injection, and investigate the possible roles of endogenous digitalis like factors and sympathetic activity in the regulation.
