Background: Farnesylacetone compounds that dilate blood vessels by blocking calcium channels in sargassum siliquastrum have been reported. And this study was done to demonstrate the effect of YJ-7, a synthetic material derived from these compounds, on vessel dilation and blood pressure control.
Methods: We used vasoconstricted basilar and carotid artery of rabbits. Changes in blood pressure were measured in vivo at 15, 30, 45, and 60 minutes after intravenous injection of YJ-7 3 ?M, EC50 value from in vitro experiment, and nimodipine 10 ?M through the tail vein of 20 rats. Spontaneous hypertensive rat (SHR) has its blood pressure higher than 190 mmHg. Measurements of blood pressure were done 6 times and the mean values were used for data analysis.
Results: Systolic and diastolic blood pressure before the injection of YJ-7 were 194.2 ± 6.1 mmHg and 140.2 ± 6.4 mmHg. Blood pressure were decreased with time, 157.2 ± 2.6 / 120.8 ± 4.2 mmHg at 15 minutes, 161.8 ± 18.3 / 123.2 ± 13.9 mmHg at 30 minutes, and 156.0 ± 4.1 / 112.4 ± 1.7 mmHg at 45 minutes. The blood pressure lowering effect lasted until 45 minutes. However, the blood pressure increased to 182.2 ± 16.4 / 149.0 ± 20.4 mmHg at 60 minutes reaching similar levels of before the injection (P ＜ 0.05).
Conclusions: We could see YJ-7 has vasorelaxation effect and would be helpful to control blood pressure with short recovery period than nimodipine.
