Abstract | dc.description.abstract | © 2018 Background: Xenophyllum poposum is an endemic species of the Andes Cordillera, popularly known as Popusa. Popusa is widely used by mountain communities as a folk medicine to treat altitude sickness and hypertension. Purpose: The aim of this study is to evaluate the hypotensive effects and vascular reactivity of Popusa extracts and its pure isolated compounds. Methods: Hydroalcoholic extract of Xenophyllum poposum (HAE X. poposum; 40 mg/kg dose) were administered to rats by gavage and mean arterial pressures were recorded. Organ bath studies were conducted in endothelium-intact and denuded rings, and the vascular reactivity of the HAE X. poposum extract and its isolated compounds were compared and analysed. Cytosolic Ca2+ was measured in vascular smooth muscle cell line A7r5 using Fura2-AM. Results: HAE X. poposum significantly reduced the mean arterial blood pressure and heart rate in normotensive rats chronically treated with the extract, as well as mice acutely treated with th | |
