Vesnarinone (Arkin) (INN) is a mixed phosphodiesterase 3 inhibitor and ion-channel modifier that has modest, dose-dependent, positive inotropic activity, but minimal negative chronotropic activity. It also suppresses cell proliferation and induces apoptosis by inducing the expression of p21, an inhibitor of cyclin-dependent kinase activity in p53-mediated cell cycle arrest.

Vesnarinone HCl (OPC-8212 HCl) is an orally active phosphodiesterase 3 (PDE3) inhibitor.Vesnarinone HCl modulates calcium and potassium ions, increasing calcium flux and decreasing potassium flux.Vesnarinone HCl is a new positive inotropic compound that enhances myocardial contractility and can be be used in heart failure studies.

Imazodan, a small molecule compound with positive inotropic activity, is a selective type III phosphodiesterase inhibitor and can be used to study heart failure.

OPC18750 HCl is a potential phosphodiesterase inhibitor with positive inotropic effects that can be used to study asthma, cancer, diabetes, and psychiatric disorders.

Norepinephrine bitartrate acts directly on the α- and β-adrenergic receptors. Norepinephrine Bitartrate is a bitartrate salt of norepinephrine, a synthetic phenylethylamine that mimics the sympathomimetic actions of the endogenous norepinephrine. Clinically, norepinephrine is used as a peripheral vasoconstrictor that causes constriction of arterial and venous beds via its alpha-adrenergic action. It is also used as a potent inotropic and chronotropic stimulator of the heart mediated through its beta-1 adrenergic action.

OPC 8490 free base is a novel positive inotropic vasodilator and a cardiotonic agent that increases Ca currents in a dose-dependent and reversible manner and can be used to study cardiovascular diseases.

Danicamtiv (MYK-491) is an inotropic agent and it also is a selective allosteric activator of cardiac myosin. Danicamtiv increases cardiac systolic function and preserves mechanical efficiency.

Pseudoginsenoside F11 (Ginsenoside A1) is a component of Panax quinquefolium (American ginseng) which main pharmacological activities are positive inotropic effect on isolated heart function, good therapeutic effect on myocardial ischemia, and good protective effect on cardio-cerebrovascular system and nervous system.

Olprinone (Loprinone)(Loprinone) is a selective phosphodiesterase 3 (PDE3) inhibitor.Olprinone has been reported to improve microcirculation and attenuate inflammation. Olprinone is often used to increase cardiac output after cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB).

(R)-(+)-Atenolol ((R)-Atenolol) is a cardioselective beta-1 adrenergic blocker, which properties are similar to propranolol, but without a negative inotropic effect.

Carvedilol (SKF 105517) Phosphate is the phosphate salt form of carvedilol, a racemic mixture and adrenergic blocking agent with antihypertensive activity and devoid of intrinsic sympathomimetic activity. The S enantiomer of carvedilol nonselectively binds to and blocks beta-adrenergic receptors, thereby exerting negative inotropic and chronotropic effects, and leading to a reduction in cardiac output. In addition, both enantiomers of carvedilol bind to and block alpha 1-adrenergic receptors, thereby causing vasodilation and reducing peripheral vascular resistance.

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.

ICI 153110 is an orally active phosphodiesterase inhibitor with both inotropic and vasodilating properties, designed for the treatment of congestive cardiac failure.

Nadolol is a non-selective beta-adrenergic antagonist with antihypertensive and antiarrhythmic activities. Nadolol competitively blocks beta-1 adrenergic receptors located in the heart and vascular smooth muscle, inhibiting the activities of the catechola

Disopyramide (Triombrin) is a class I anti-arrhythmic agent (one that interferes directly with the depolarization of the cardiac membrane and thus serves as a membrane-stabilizing agent) with a depressant action on the heart similar to that of guanidine. It also possesses some anticholinergic and local anesthetic properties.

Bay 60-7550 is a selective and potent PDE2 inhibitor (Ki: 3.8 nM) that exerts positive inotropic effects on rat heart by increasing PKA-mediated phosphorylation and can be used to ameliorate cognitive impairments and memory disorders.
