Effect of salvia miltiorrkiza and its effective composition on hypoxic pulmonary vaoconstriction in guinea pig / 中华麻醉学杂志

ABSTRACT

The experiment was designed to investigate the effect of salvia miltiorrhiza (Danshen ) and its effective composition, phenyl lactic acid (Danshensu )on the hypoxic pulmonary vasoconstriction (HPV). Acute hypoxia was induced by replacing mixed gas 95%O2+ 5 %CO2 with 95%N2 + 5 %CO2. Hypoxic pulmonary vasoconstriction was diminished by injectic Danshen, Injectic Danshen compound and Danshensu with concentration dependently. Tile effect of Danshensu was the most,and Injectic Danshen Co was second by comparison. The results suggested that Danshen can antagonist HPV which was mainly produced by Danshensu, one of the effective composition of Danshen,and that more potent inhibitory action on HPV was by Injectio Danshen compound compared with Injectio Danshen,and this may be related to the addition of Dalbergia odorifera , the other composition of Injectic Danshen compound.
