(Synonyms: (rac)-Levosimendan; (rac)-Simsndan; (rac)-OR-1259)

Simendan ((rac)-Levosimendan; (rac)-Simsndan; (rac)-OR-1259) is a calcium-sensitizing positive inotropic vasodilator compound that enhances myocardial contractility through calcium-dependent binding to cardiac troponin C and selectively inhibits cardiac phosphodiesterase (Phosphodiesterase) III, while inducing coronary and peripheral vasodilation and anti-ischemic effects. Simendan can be used for research on congestive heart failure, acute heart failure, myocardial infarction, myocardial ischemia, and thrombotic diseases.

For research use only. We do not sell to patients.

Biological Activity

Description

All Phosphodiesterase (PDE) Isoforms :

In Vitro

Simendan ((rac)-Levosimendan; (rac)-Simsndan; (rac)-OR-1259) selectively inhibits cardiac phosphodiesterase III in purified enzyme preparations^[1].
Simendan binds to cardiac troponin C in a calcium-dependent manner in paced papillary muscle preparations, combining positive inotropic effects with enhanced cardiac relaxation^[1].

In Vivo

Simendan ((rac)-Levosimendan; (rac)-Simsndan; (rac)-OR-1259) (2.5 mg/kg; p.o.; free access; 312 days) improves survival in rats with post-myocardial infarction healing, with a mortality rate of 53% at 312 days, representing a 28% risk reduction compared with the control group^[3].

Protocols

All Signal Pathway Related

Research Protocol for Cardiovascular Diseases
Cardiovascular disease can be modeled as maladaptive cardiac remodeling, where ischemic injury or pressure overload activates inflammatory signaling, fibroblast activation, extracellular-matrix deposition, cardiomyocyte hypertrophy, vascular remodeling, and progressive ventricular dysfunction. The TGF-β/SMAD axis is a central profibrotic pathway after myocardial injury and pressure overload, while innate immune and cytokine pathways regulate leukocyte recruitment, scar formation, and adverse remodeling. Key unresolved questions include which inflammatory signals are reparative versus harmful, when fibrosis is protective versus maladaptive, and whether pathway inhibition improves function without weakening necessary infarct healing or compensatory remodeling.

Help & FAQs

How should lyophilized recombinant proteins be reconstituted and stored?

1. Before opening the cap, centrifuge the vial at 13000 rpm for 20-30 seconds. This step will ensure that any lyophilized powder that may have adhered to the cap or walls is collected at the bottom of the vial, minimizing the risk of product loss.
