Simendan
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.

Biological Activity
Description
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].
