Common Nameouabagenin
Descriptionouabagenin is a cardiac glycoside belonging to the class of cardiotonic steroids. Its chemical structure features a steroid backbone with hydroxyl groups at the C19 position, which plays a crucial role in its biological activity. The compound is involved in various biochemical pathways, including acting as a liver X receptor (LXR) agonist, which has therapeutic implications for conditions like atherosclerosis in nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (PMID:37224568 ). Additionally, ouabagenin has been studied for its effects on neuroinflammation, where co-administration with C3-glycosides led to a significant reduction in LPS-induced inflammatory markers, although unglycosylated forms enhanced inflammation instead (PMID:38352829 ). Its potential in cancer treatment has also been explored, with in silico studies indicating promising interactions with the EGFR active site (PMID:35895251 ). Furthermore, synthetic approaches have been developed for the total synthesis of ouabagenin and related compounds, highlighting its importance in medicinal chemistry (PMID:37084230 ). Notably, ouabagenin has shown a lack of inhibitory effects on CYP450 enzymes, distinguishing it from other polyphenols (PMID:36145353 ).
