Proscillaridin A immunoreactivity: its purification, transport in blood by a specific binding protein and its correlation with blood pressure.

A material crossreacting with antibodies against the bufadienolide proscillaridin A and inhibiting the sodium pump was found in human blood plasma. The concentration of the material with a retention time similar to ouabain in a reversed phase HPLC correlated to systolic blood pressure and pulse pressure. Affinity purification of this compound from bovine adrenals resulted in the isolation of a compound with molecular mass of 600 Da that was not identical with ouabain. Consistent with the postulate that endogenous ouabain and proscillaridin A immunoreactivities may belong to a new class of cardiotonic steroid hormones, a protein of Mr = 60 kDa has been found in bovine serum by affinity-labeling with N-hydroxysuccimidyl digoxigenin-3-O-methylcarbonyl-epsilon-aminocaproate.[1]
