Abstract:
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the anti-vertigo effect of phencynonate hydrochloride. METHODS To detect the improvement of phencynonate hydrochloride on cerebral blood flow, a rat model wa s es?tablished with bilateral common carotid arteries occlusion. Phencynonate hydrochloride 0.1-4.0 mg·kg-1 was ig given, twice a day for three consecutive days and the alteration of cerebral blood flow was measured with laser Doppler flowmetry. Rotating acceleration equipment was used to provocate mouse vertigo for 30 min, and the spontaneous locomotor activities were tested for occurrence of vertigo in mice. Phencynonate hydrochloride 1.4-5.6 mg·kg-1 was ig given before rotating acceleration. Gastric phenol red emptying rate was used to determine the anti-nausea effect of the test drug in mice 30 min after phencynonate hydrochloride 1.4-8.4 mg·kg-1 was ig given. RESULTS The cerebral blood flow of the rat model with bilateral common carotid arteries occlusion was reduced significantly after 24 h (P<0.01). Compared with the model group, phencynonate hydrochloride (0.5, 2.0 and 4.0 mg · kg-1) increased the cerebral blood flow in a dose-dependent manner in rats with cerebral ischemia (P<0.01). The spontaneous locomotor activities were significantly reduced after vertigo stimulation in mice (P<0.05). Compared with the model group, phencynonate hydrochloride (2.8 and 5.6 mg · kg-1) increased the movement distance and speed of vertigo mice (P<0.05). Phencynonate hydrochloride (2.8, 5.6 and 8.4 mg·kg-1) inhibited the gastric emptying of mice (P<0.05). CONCLUSION Phecynonate hydrochloride can improve the cerebral blood flow and locomotor activities in vertigo rats, while inhibiting gastric emptying, which points to the therapeutic potential of phencynonate hydrochloride for vertigo in clinic.
