Potentiating effects on contractions by purified baicalin and baicalein in the rat mesenteric artery.

Abstract:

:The effects of purified baicalin and baicalein from the traditional Chinese herb, Huangqin, on contractions induced by phenylephrine, U46619, and high extracellular K+ were investigated in isolated rat mesenteric arteries. Both baicalin (1-100 microM) and baicalein (1-50 microM) potentiated the contractile response to phenylephrine in a concentration-related manner. Both flavonoids (10 microM) also enhanced the U46619- or 40 mM K+-induced contractions. Baicalein (100-300 microM) reduced the phenylephrine-induced tone. Prazosin at 1 microM did not affect U46619-induced contraction in the absence and presence of baicalein or baicalin. Neither baicalin (1-100 microM) nor baicalein (1-100 microM) affected the basal tension. Removal of the functional endothelium abolished the potentiating effects of baicalin and baicalein in arteries preconstricted by both constrictors. Pretreatment of endothelium-intact rings with 100 microM N(G)-nitro-L-arginine also potentiated phenylephrine- or U46619-induced contraction but completely inhibited the effects of baicalin and baicalein. Pretreatment with 1 mM L-arginine reversed the enhancing effect of baicalin but not of baicalein on phenylephrine-evoked contraction. Pretreatment with 10 microM baicalin or 10 microM baicalein significantly reduced the endothelium-dependent relaxation induced by acetylcholine or ionomycin. These results indicate that both baicalin and baicalein potentiated the evoked contractile response, likely through inhibition of nitric oxide formation and/or release in the endothelium.
