Abstract: A prognostic assay and kit and method of use thereof are provided. The kit and assay are used to determine the likelihood of a diseased cell or tissue having a therapeutic response to treatment with a cardiac glycoside in a disease having an etiology associated with excessive cell proliferation. The kit and assay are used to determine the ratio of isoforms of the ? subunit of Na, K-ATPase obtained from the diseased cell or tissue. The kit can be used to predict the therapeutic responsiveness of cancer or tumor in a subject to treatment with a cardiac glycoside. The kit and assay can be incorporated in a method of treating a disease or disorder having an etiology associated with excessive cell proliferation with a composition comprising a cardiac glycoside.

Abstract: A method of treating neurological condition in a subject by administration of a cardiac glycoside is provided. Alzheimer's disease, Huntington's disease or stroke are treated by administering a therapeutically effective amount of cardiac glycoside to a subject. The cardiac glycoside can be present in a dosage form.

Abstract: A method of treating neurological condition in a subject by administration of an extract, or fraction or sub-fraction thereof, of Nerium species or Thevetia species is provided, wherein the extract, or fraction or sub-fraction thereof, excludes oleandrin and neriifolin. Alzheimer's disease, Huntington's disease or stroke are treated by administering a therapeutically effective amount of the extract, or a fraction or sub-fraction thereof, to a subject. The extract can be present in a pharmaceutical composition.
