Abstract

|
The present study was attempted to investigate the cardiovascular effects of Cheonmagudeumg-Eum (CMGDE), which is known to be one of chinese medical prescriptions used in treatment of hypertension, in the anesthetized rats and to clarify the mechanism of its pharmacological action, making use of its water extract.
1. CMGDE (5-45 ㎎/㎏), given into a femoral vein of the rat, produced a dose-dependent hypotensive and bradycardic responses while even much larger doses of it (10-90 ㎎/㎏), given into the rectum, did induced negligible hypotensive responses.
2. CMGDE-induced depressor responses were inhibited greatly by pretreatment with phentolamine (an adrenergic α-receptor antagonist), but not by pretreatment with atropine (an antimuscarinic agent) and chlorisondamine (an autonomic ganglionic blocker).
3. Pressor responses evoked by intravenous norepinephrine were attenuated significantly by pretreatment of CMGDE-infusion with a rate of 45㎎/㎏/20min.
4. In the rat aortic strips, phenylephrine (an adrenergic α1-receptor agonist) and high potassium (a membrane depolarizing agent) caused potent contractile responses, respectively. However, in the presence of CMGDE (2㎎/㎖), the contractile responses of phenylephrine (10-5M) and high potassium (5.6×10 exp (-2)M) were markedly inhibited.
Taken together, these experimental results suggest strongly that Cheonmagudeung-Eum may cause the hypotensive responses in the anesthetized normotensive rat, indicating that this cardiovascular effects of CMGDE is likely due to the blockade of adrenergic α-receptors without cholinergic effects.
