Milrinone Lactate is a positive inotropic cardiotonic compound. Milrinone Lactate has vasodilator properties, inhibiting cAMP phosphodiesterase type 3 activity in the myocardium and vascular smooth muscle.
Enoximone sulfoxide is a selective phosphodiesterase III (PDE3) inhibitor with vasodilating and positive inotropic activity that does not cause changes in myocardial oxygen consumption. Enoximone prevents the degradation of cAMP by PDE, which prolongs signal transduction and its subsequent effects. It is used in patients with congestive heart failure.
Inamrinone lactate is a positive inotropic cardiotonic with vasodilator properties, phosphodiesterase inhibitory activity, and the ability to stimulate calcium ion influx into the cardiac cell.
Doxaminol is a synthetic partial beta-adrenergic agonist with sympathomimetic activity. Doxaminol may bind to and stimulate beta-1-adrenergic receptors located in the myocardium. As a result, it leads to a positive inotropic effect and increases in cardiac output.
