Product Description
Enoximone is a novel and selective phosphodiesterase III (PDE3) inhibitor with an IC50 of 5.9 μM and 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.
Enoximone (CAS#: 77671-31-9) is a selective phosphodiesterase III (PDE3) inhibitor with inotropic and vasodilating properties. Its molecular formula is C12H12N2O2S and its molecular weight is 248.30 g/mol. Enoximone is an orally active compound that induces vasodilatation and increases intracellular cyclic AMP levels. It has the potential for congestive heart failure research and has bronchodilatory, antiasthma, and anti-inflammatory effects. Enoximone is also known by its brand name Perfan.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
The primary target of enoximone is phosphodiesterase III (PDE3), an enzyme that hydrolyzes cyclic AMP (cAMP) and cyclic GMP (cGMP) in cardiac and vascular smooth muscle cells. By inhibiting PDE3, enoximone increases intracellular cAMP levels, leading to enhanced calcium influx and increased contractility in cardiac myocytes (positive inotropic effect). In vascular smooth muscle cells, the increase in cAMP promotes vasodilation. Enoximone has an IC50 of 5.9 µM for PDE3 inhibition.
ln Vitro
In vitro, bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) eosinophils treated with 10 μM enoxamone generated by IL-33 exhibited notably reduced expression of CD11b in contrast to BAL eosinophils treated with diluent [1].
In vitro, enoximone is a selective PDE3 inhibitor with an IC50 of 5.9 µM. It increases intracellular cAMP levels in cardiac myocytes and vascular smooth muscle cells, leading to enhanced contractility and vasodilation. Its activity is characterized by its ability to inhibit PDE3-mediated cAMP hydrolysis. Enoximone also has bronchodilatory, antiasthma, and anti-inflammatory effects, which may be related to its PDE3 inhibitory activity in airway smooth muscle and immune cells.
ln Vivo
The house dust mite (HDM)-induced allergic airway inflammation is eliminated by topical Enoximone (25 μg; intratracheal route) [1]. Enoximone administration (25 μg) for 5 days significantly decreased the number of inflammatory cells (eosinophils, neutrophils, macrophages, ILC2s, and T cells) in HDM-exposed mice, suggesting that the drug attenuates gastrointestinal tract illness. irritation of the tract[1].
In vivo, enoximone is used for the treatment of congestive heart failure. It improves cardiac function by increasing cardiac contractility (inotropic effect) and reducing afterload through vasodilation. The compound is administered intravenously for acute heart failure management and orally for chronic heart failure. Its bronchodilatory effects may be beneficial in patients with concomitant pulmonary disease. Clinical studies have demonstrated its efficacy in improving hemodynamic parameters in heart failure patients.
Enzyme Assay
The in vitro activity of enoximone is assessed using cell-free PDE3 enzyme activity assays. PDE3 enzyme is incubated with a cAMP or cGMP substrate in the presence of varying concentrations of enoximone. The hydrolysis of the substrate is measured, typically using a radioactive or fluorescence-based detection method. The IC50 is determined from dose-response curves. For selectivity profiling, the compound is tested against other PDE isoforms (PDE1, PDE2, PDE4, PDE5) to assess its selectivity for PDE3.
Cell Assay
For cellular assays, cardiac myocytes or vascular smooth muscle cells are cultured in appropriate media. Cells are treated with various concentrations of enoximone (typically 0.1-100 µM) for defined periods. Intracellular cAMP levels are measured by ELISA. The contractility of cardiac myocytes can be assessed by measuring cell shortening or calcium transients. The vasodilatory effect can be assessed using isolated blood vessel preparations or by measuring endothelial cell nitric oxide production. Cell viability is assessed using standard assays.
Animal Protocol
In vivo, enoximone is typically administered intravenously or orally to patients or animal models. In animal models of heart failure, the compound is administered at various doses, and hemodynamic parameters (blood pressure, cardiac output, left ventricular pressure) are monitored. In clinical studies, the compound's efficacy is assessed by measuring improvements in exercise capacity, hemodynamic parameters, and quality of life. Pharmacokinetic studies involve measurement of enoximone plasma concentrations by HPLC or LC-MS/MS.

Enoximone can cause side effects including hypotension, headache, nausea, and arrhythmias due to its vasodilatory and positive inotropic effects. The compound should be used with caution in patients with hypotension, arrhythmias, or severe aortic stenosis. Its use in heart failure is guided by careful hemodynamic monitoring. Comprehensive toxicological studies are required to establish its full safety profile. The compound is intended for use under appropriate medical supervision.

Additional Infomation
Enoxidone is an aromatic ketone. Enoxidone is a selective phosphodiesterase inhibitor with vasodilatory and positive inotropic effects that does not alter myocardial oxygen consumption. It is used to treat patients with congestive heart failure. Clinical trials of this drug in the United States have been discontinued, but it is still used in several other countries. A selective phosphodiesterase inhibitor with vasodilatory and positive inotropic effects that does not alter myocardial oxygen consumption. It is used to treat patients with congestive heart failure. Drug Indications For the treatment of congestive heart failure. Mechanism of Action Further research is needed to determine the exact mechanism of action of drugs with phosphodiesterase inhibitory activity, but PDE3 inhibitors inhibit the degradation of cGMP. This helps increase the release of nitric oxide (NO) and dilate blood vessels. Pharmacodynamics Enoxidone is a type III phosphodiesterase inhibitor that enhances cardiac contractility and dilates blood vessels. In June 2005, Myogen announced that it had discontinued development of enoxiedon due to unsatisfactory trial results. The drug had been approved for use in the UK.
Enoximone is a clinically approved medication for the treatment of congestive heart failure in some regions. It is a selective PDE3 inhibitor that improves cardiac function through its inotropic and vasodilatory effects. Enoximone is available as an intravenous formulation for acute heart failure management and as an oral formulation for chronic heart failure. Its development represents an advance in the pharmacotherapy of heart failure, providing an alternative to other inotropic agents. It is not widely used in all regions and has been superseded by other heart failure therapies in some guidelines.
