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]
