Abstract:
Aim To investigate the vasorelaxation effects of saponins from flower of Panax notoginsen on the isolated thoracica aorta ,and to explore its possible mechanism.Methods Total saponins were extracted and high phase liquid chromatography was utilized to describe saponins ingredients;SD rat thoracic aortas were isolated.In vitro vascular ring experiment was used to observe,basal state of saponins on vascular ring,and high concentrations of K+solution pre-con-traction and phenylephrine (PE ) pre-contraction caused by systolic and diastolic function of the re-sponse.And different inhibitors were combined to ex-amine the possible mechanism of notoginsenoside in vascular ring.Results Cumulative concentration of saponins had no significant effect on the basis of state vessels,but had significant effect on endothelium-in-tact aortic (MAX Relaxation 23.6%) rings pre-con-tracted by high concentrations of K+;endothelium and endothelial aortia had significant effect on PE pre-con-traction, and endothelium MAX relaxation was 55.5 1%.Calcium-free solution and saponin cultivated aortic rings significantly inhibited pre-contraction.Af-ter nitric oxide synthase inhibitor L-NAME and indom-ethacin incubating vascular ring ,it could significantly inhibited vasodilatory effect of saponin.Conclusion Saponins have concentration dependent diastolic func-tion on rat thoracic aorta,and its main ways cause vas-odilation.Endothelial dependent diastolic function is related to activation of nitric oxide synthase and cy-clooxygenase pathway.
