This study was aimed to investigate the effect of 3,4 secoisopimara-4(18),7,15-trien-3-oic acid (compound 1) isolated from the aerial parts of Salvia cinnabarina, on upper gastrointestinal transit in mice in vivo. Compound 1 (10 - 100 mg/kg, i. p.) dose-dependently delayed gastrointestinal motility. Pretreatment ( i. p.) of mice with hexamethonium (10 mg/kg), naloxone (2 mg/kg), N(G)-nitro- L-arginine-methyl ester ( L-NAME) (25 mg/kg) or yohimbine (1 mg/kg) did not modify the inhibitory effect of compound 1 (50 mg/kg). However, the L-type Ca (2+) channel verapamil (5 mg/kg, i. p.) significantly reduced the antimotility effect of compound 1 (50 mg/kg). These results suggest that compound 1 inhibits gastrointestinal motility in mice. The effect could involve, at least in part, L-type Ca (2+) channels.
本研究旨在探讨从朱唇地上部分分离得到的3,4-裂环异海松-4(18),7,15-三烯-3-酸(化合物1)对小鼠体内上消化道转运的影响。化合物1(10 - 100毫克/千克,腹腔注射)剂量依赖性地延迟胃肠蠕动。用六甲铵(10毫克/千克)、纳洛酮(2毫克/千克)、N(G)-硝基-L-精氨酸甲酯(L-NAME)(25毫克/千克)或育亨宾(1毫克/千克)对小鼠进行预处理(腹腔注射),并未改变化合物1(50毫克/千克)的抑制作用。然而,L型钙通道阻滞剂维拉帕米(5毫克/千克,腹腔注射)显著降低了化合物1(50毫克/千克)的抗蠕动作用。这些结果表明化合物1抑制小鼠胃肠蠕动。该作用可能至少部分涉及L型钙通道。
