چکیده انگلیسی
Crude extract of Valeriana wallichii rhizome (Vw.Cr) and its fractions were studied for possible antispasmodic and blood pressure lowering activities to rationalize some of the folkloric uses. In rabbit jejunum preparations, Vw.Cr (0.1-3.0 mg/mL) caused relaxation of spontaneous contractions. When tested against high K+ (80 mM)-induced contractions it produced weak inhibitory effect, while caused complete relaxation of the contractions induced by low K+ (20 mM). In the presence of glibenclamide (3 μM), the inhibitory effect of low K+ was shifted to the right, similar to that produced by cromakalim while, verapamil caused no differentiation in its inhibitory effect against low and high K+-induced contractions. In guinea pig ileum, the plant extract produced similar results as in rabbit jejunum. Intravenous administration of Vw.Cr, produced fall in arterial blood pressure in normotensive anaesthetized rats and this effect was partially blocked by glibenclamide. In rabbit aortic preparations, plant extract also caused a selective and glibenclamide-sensitive relaxation of low K+ (20 mM)-induced contractions. Activity-directed fractionation studies revealed that the observed activity was distributed both in the chloroform and aqueous fractions. These results indicate that the antispasmodic and hypotensive effects of Valeriana wallichii are mediated possibly through KATP channel activation, which justify its use in gastrointestinal and cardiovascular disorders.
