Rostafuroxin (also known as PST 2238) is an investigational small molecule being studied for its potential as a blood pressure–lowering (antihypertensive) drug. It’s a derivative of digitoxigenin and is currently not approved for general use.WikipediaInxight DrugsWikipedia
Rostafuroxin offers a promising targeted antihypertensive option that acts at the molecular level to inhibit specific pathways involved in high blood pressure. It provides particular benefits for individuals with genetic variants affecting ouabain activity or the Na⁺/K⁺-ATPase pump. However, it is still in development and not yet widely available.
Targets Ouabain and Na⁺/K⁺-ATPase
Rostafuroxin acts as an antagonist to endogenous ouabain—a hormone-like compound in the body that can raise blood pressure.
It binds to the Na⁺/K⁺-ATPase (also known as the sodium-potassium pump) receptor and prevents ouabain from activating it, but does not interfere with the pump’s normal ion transport function.ScienceDirectInxight DrugsClinPGx
In certain types of hypertension—like adducin-related and ouabain-related forms—both kidney and blood vessel cells show abnormal activity of the Na⁺/K⁺-ATPase.
Rostafuroxin restores normal activity of this pump in animal models, helping reverse hypertension caused by these specific molecular changes.PubMedScienceDirectPhysiology Journals
Some forms of hypertension arise due to genetic variants in proteins like α-adducin, ADD1, ADD3, or enzymes controlling ouabain levels.
In early clinical trials—like PEARL-HT—rostafuroxin showed better blood pressure reduction compared with losartan (a standard antihypertensive) in Caucasian patients carrying certain genetic profiles (e.g., the P2a genetic profile and LSS rs2254524 AA genotype).NatureResearch Outreach
This demonstrates a precision medicine approach—aligning drug choice with individual genetic makeup for more effective treatment.
