Sulmazole is a cardiotonic drug.[1] Sulmazole has the chemical formula C14H13N3O2S[2] and a molecular weight of 287.34 g/mol.[2]

Sulmazole has been shown to improve cardiac index and reduce pulmonary capillary wedge pressure without significant changes in a person's heart rate or arterial pressure.[3] Sulmazole inhibits the A1 adenosine receptor and functionally blocks Gi, an inhibitory regulator.[1] Sulmazole is also a phosphodiesterase inhibitor.[3] Sulmazole is classified as an imidazopyridine and a sulfoxide.[2] Sulmazole can be taken intravenously or orally.[3] Side effects from sulmazole include blurring vision and temporary color blindness.[3]
