A series of digitalis-like compounds, with the lactone ring shifted from the original position through a spacer or replaced by a series of guanylhydrazone substituent-bearing chains, was synthesized and evaluated for inhibition of Na+,K(+)-ATPase and for inotropic activity. The highest Na+,K(+)-ATPase inhibition (IC50) and inotropic activity (EC50) were reached with the vinylogous guanylhydrazone 5 where a cardenolide-like polarized alpha,beta-unsaturated system and a basic guanidino group were both present at the 17 beta-position; for this compound IC50 and EC50 values were comparable to or higher than those of Thomas' parent guanylhydrazone 1, digitoxigenin, and digoxin. A substantial improvement of the desired positive inotropic activity versus the toxic arrhythmogenic concentration was not reached within this series; only a slightly better therapeutic index can be envisaged for compounds 5 and 4, even though, for the latter, to the detriment of potency, presumably because of a weaker interaction with the receptor, due to the lack of a cardenolide-like polarized system.
