摘要
Angelica decursiva is a perennial herb that belongs to the Umbelliferae family. It is traditionally used to treat fever, upper respiratory tract infections, bleeding and hypertension. However, despite its extensive pharmacological potential, literature reports on its antihypertensive pharmacological properties are scarce.In the study, crude extract from A. decursiva roots was examined for its antihypertensive activity and its molecular basis was explored.A. decursiva roots were extracted with ethanol, and isolated with silica gel normal-phase chromatography and reverse-phase high performance liquid chromatography. L-NAME-induced hypertensive mouse model was used to detect in vivo hypertensive activity. Thoracic aorta ring contraction activity and electrophysiology recordings were employed to evaluate in vitro antihypertensive activity and revealed an antihypertensive target, which was transiently expressed in HEK293T cells.Angelica decursiva ethanol decoction (ADED) exhibited significant antihypertensive effects in L-NAME-induced hypertension models and phenylephrine-induced vasoconstriction. Further screening revealed that demethylsuberosin is an essential component accounting for the antihypertension effects of A. decursiva. Voltage-gated calcium channel CaV1.2 is the likely target of A. decursiva for its antihypertension effects.The study suggests that A. decursiva and demethylsuberosin may be effective antihypertensive agents in preclinical studies. It appears that A. decursiva and demethylsuberosin exert antihypertensive effects by inhibiting the CaV1.2 channel, which contributes to the vasodilatory effect. The present study provides experimental evidence that A. decursiva is an effective remedy for hypertension in folklore. Demethylsuberosin could be a lead molecule for antihypertension drug development.
