AbstractTo investigate the vasorelaxant effect of total flavones from Dendranthema morifolium (Ramat.) Tzvel. cv. Hangju (FDM), tension was recorded from rat thoracic aortic rings. FDM completely relaxed, in a dose-dependent manner, the contractions induced by either phenylephrine (PE) or a high concentration of KCl (60 mM) in rings with intact endothelium. Mechanical removal of the endothelium did not significantly modify the vasorelaxant effect of FDM. In endothelium-denuded aortic rings depolarized by 60 mM KCl, FDM inhibited Ca/sup 2+/-induced contraction. FDM also reduced the transient contraction elicited by PE in Ca/sup 2+/-free medium, but had no effect on active phorbol ester-induced contraction. Pretreatment of endothelium-denuded aorta with propranolol, a beta-adrenoceptor antagonist, significantly attenuated the relaxant effect of FDM. These results indicate that FDM induces an endothelium-independent relaxation in rat aortic rings. The mechanisms may include the activation of beta-adrenergic receptors, reduction in Ca/sup 2+/ influx through the voltage-dependent and receptor-operated channels, and inhibition of intracellular Ca release in vascular smooth muscle cells.
