Experiments with guinea pig immunocompetent cells and nonadherent and adherent mononuclear fractions of the peripheral blood of healthy donors, and patients with rheumatoid arthritis and purulent surgical infection disclosed different levels of Ca(2+)-ATPase activity. Thymectomy in adult guinea pigs led to diminution of activity of the enzyme in all lymphoid organs. The effect of ximedon (30 mg/kg) on Ca(2+)-ATPase activity depended on the thymus and duration of treatment with the drug, and was of a two-phase character.

A key molecular dysfunction in heart failure is the reduced activity of the cardiac sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca2+-ATPase (SERCA2a) in cardiac muscle cells. Reactivating SERCA2a improves cardiac function in heart failure models, making it a validated target and an attractive therapeutic approach for heart failure therapy. However, finding small-molecule SERCA2a activators is challenging.

With rising incidence, mortality and limited therapeutic options, heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) remains one of the most important topics in cardiovascular medicine today. Characterised by left ventricular diastolic dysfunction partially due to impaired Ca homeostasis, one ion channel in particular, SarcoEndoplasmic Reticulum Ca-ATPase (SERCA2a), may play a significant role in its pathophysiology. A better understanding of the complex mechanisms interplaying to contribute to SERCA2a dysfunction will help develop treatments targeting it and thus address the growing clinical challenge HFpEF poses.
