Study on the Heart Protective Effect of Panax quinquefolium Extract Based on Zebra Fish Model / 中国药房

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE：To study the heart protective effect of Panax quinquefolium extract of Zebra fish. METHODS ：The drug dosage of P. quinquefolium extract and the optimal modeling dose of terfenadine were determined by tolerance test ；24 hours post fertilization （24 hpf），Zebra fish were divided into control group （0.5％ dimethyl sulfoxide ），model group （2.5 μg/mL terfenadine），positive control group （2.5 μ g/mL terfenadine + 30 μ g/mL resveratrol） and different mass concentration P. quinquefolium extract groups （2.5 μg/mL terfenadine+5，10，25 μg/mL P. quinquefolium extract，by raw material ）. 48 h after incubation，the heart rate and sinus venous-bulbus arteriosus （SV-BA）interval of Zebra fish were used as indexes ，and the heart injury repair rate was calculated to investigate the heart protection of P. quinquefolium extract. Another 24 hpf Zebra fish were divided into blank control group ，model group ，positive control group ，20 batches of P. quinquefolium extract from different producing area groups （5 μg/mL，by raw material ），with same administration route and 48 h of incubation. The heart rate ，SV-BA interval of heart was determined ，heart injury repair rate and heart injury relative repair rate were calculated ；the heart protective effect of P. quinquefolium extract was further validated. RESULTS ：Compared with blank control group ，heart rate was decreased significantly（P＜0.01），while SV-BA interval was increased significantly in model group （P＜0.01）. Compared with model group，heart rate of Zebra fish was increased significantly in positive control group and 5，10，25 μg/mL P. quinquefolium extract groups（P＜0.01），while SV-BA interval of Zebra fish was shortened significantly in 5，10 μg/mL P. quinquefolium extract groups （P＜0.05 or P＜0.01）；heart injury repair rate of Zebra fish in 5 μg/mL P. quinquefolium extract group reached 73.77％. In validation test ，compared with model group ，heart rate was increased significantly （P＜0.01），while SV-BA interval of Zebra fish was decreased significantly in 20 batches of P. quinquefolium extract groups （P＜0.01）；heart injury repair rate ranged 70.45％-85.78％，and heart injury relative repair rate ranged 75.48％-98.12％. CONCLUSIONS ：P. quinquefolium extract has good heart protective effects.
