ABSTRACT
By using decapitating, intravenous injection of saturated MgCl2 and legation of bilateral carotid arteries with vagi, the effects of 1-(2,6-dimethylphenoxy)-2-(3,4-dimethoxyphenylethyl- amino) propane hydrochloride(DDPH) on survival time in mice were studied. With the model of cerebral ischemia for 20 min and reperfusion for 10 min, effects of DDPH on the superoxide dismutases(SOD) activity and malondialdehyde (MDA) content in brain tissue and pathological changes were studied. The results indicated that DDPH at dosages of 3,6,12,24 mg*kg-1 ip 30 min before ischemia prolonged the survival time significantly. Meanwhile, DDPH was found to increase the activity of SOD and reduce the content of MDA, as well as mitigate pathological damage of neuron after cerebral ischemia and reperfusion in mice. The results suggest that DDPH has protective effects on brain ischemia.
ABSTRACT
1-(2,6-Dimethylphenoxy)-2-(3,4-dimethoxyphenylethylamino) propane hydrochloride(DDPH) caused parallel rightward shifts of the phenylephrine(Phe) concentration-contractile response curves and did not suppress the maximal contractile response to Phe (pA2=7.24) in isolated rabbit urinary bladder smooth muscle. DDPH decreased the parameters of cystometry in urethane-anesthetized rats. Thirty minutes after DDPH (25 and 50 mg*kg-1 ig) administration, bladder capacity, voiding pressure, voiding threshold pressure were significantly decreased. With the observation of light-microscope and electron-microscope technique, DDPH (25 and 50 mg*kg-1*d-1 ig for 4 weeks) also inhibited the development of testosterone propionate-induced benign prostatic hyperplasia in rats. The results indicate that DDPH may inhibit benign prostatic hyperplasia and improve the urinary flow.
ABSTRACT
Surazepam ( Sur ) is a benzodiazepine derivative. Sur ( 0.2~0.27m-mol/L ) inhibited the contraction of isolated cervices uteri of rats and human beings induced by oxytocin and Ca2+ after high K+ concentration depolarization Sur ( 3.5~ 4 mg/kg ) iv could also inhibit the spontaneous contraction of uterus of rabbit in situ. The cumulative dose-response curves for Sur and CaCl2 exhibited non-competition.Both Sur and nifedipine markedly inhibited extracellular and intra-cellular Ca2+ dependent contraction induced by oxytocin.
ABSTRACT
Five min coronary artery occlusion followed by reperfusion in rats could produce arrhythmias which were rapid in onset & of short duration. The incidences of VT & VF being 100% & 72% respectively. Quinidine & dauricine reduced the incidence & severity of VT significantly; and abolished VF. Tetrandrine could reduce the incidence of VF significantly, but it had no significant effect on the incidence of VT.
ABSTRACT
AIM To investigate the effects of levo phenoprolamine hydrochloride [ levo 1 (2,6 dimethylphenoxy) 2 (3,4 dimethoxyphenyl ethylamino) propane hydrochloride] [ l DDPH([?]D 25 1 08)]on experimental arrhythmias. on experimental arrhythmias. METHODS Intravenous administration of ouabain, aconitine or CaCl 2 induced arrhythmias in rats or guinea pigs; Microelectrode recording was used to record action potential; Whole cell patch clamp technique was used to record L type calcium current ( I Ca,L ). RESULTS ① l DDPH 50 mg?kg -1 inhibited the ventricular arrhythmias induced by intravenous injection of ouabain in guinea pigs or aconitine and CaCl 2 in rats. ② l DDPH 30 ?mol?L -1 shortened 50% action potential duration (APD 50 ) and prolonged effective refractory period (ERP) ( n =6, P
ABSTRACT
Methoxyadiantifoline ( MAF) is a new alkloid isolated from Thalictrum Omeience W.T.Wang.During 3 min reperfusion after 10 min of coronary ligation, MAF 5 ?mol/L significantly decreased the incidence of isolated rat hearts with ventricular arrhythmias ( VF and VT ) . It delayed the onset of ventricular fibrillation and shortened its duration and markedly prolonged the time of normal sinus rhythm. It also significantly decreased the release of LDH from the myocardium in isolated rat hearts. In addition , MAF 5 ?mol/L could decrease the heart rate and coronary resistance. The results suggest that MAF possessed protective effects on the reperfusion injury in isolated rat hearts.
ABSTRACT
Neferine, an alkaloid, isolated form Nelumbo nucifera Gaertn,has antiarrhytbmic effect. The present report deals with its action on the ECG in rat & the surface potential of toad sciatic nerve.Neferine could prolong ECG, P-R & Q-T intervals, and widen QRS in a dose-dependent manner, The effects are similar to quini-dine, and dissimilar to tetrandrine. The inhibitory effects of neferine & quinidine on the surface potential of toad sciatic nerve are similar in potency.
