abstract

the stimulatory effect of the extract of portulaca oleracea (p. olerace) on β-adrenoceptor of tracheal smooth muscle was examined. to examine β-adrenoceptor stimulatory effect, concentration response curve to isoprenaline was obtained in pre-contracted tracheal smooth muscle in the presence of three concentrations of aqueous-ethanolic extract, propranolol and saline. values of ec50 (the effective concentration of isoprenaline, causing 50% of maximum response) and dose ratio -1 (cr-1) were measured. this effect was tested in non-incubated tracheal smooth muscle (group 1) and incubated tissues with chlorpheniramine (group 2). concentration-response curves to isoprenaline in the presence of two higher concentrations of the extract in group 1 and all three concentrations in group 2 showed leftward shifts compared to isoprenaline curves produced in the presence of saline in both groups. ec50 obtained in the presence of propranolol was significantly higher than that of saline in both groups of experiments (p

The Effect of Hydroethanol Extract of Achillea Millefolium on β-adrenoceptors of Guinea Pig Tracheal Smooth Muscle

Different pharmacological effects of Achillea millefolium including its relaxant effect on smooth muscle have been shown previously. In the present study the stimulatory effect of the plant extract on β-adrenoceptor of tracheal muscle was examined in order to investigate one possible mechanism for its observed relaxant effect. Effect of three concentrations of hydroethanol extract, 10 nM propra...

The Contribution of Water and Lipid Soluble Substances in the Relaxant Effects of Nigella sativa Extract on Guinea Pig Tracheal Smooth Muscle (in vitro)

Objective In previous studies, the relaxant, anticholinergic (functional antagonism), antihistaminic and its stimulatory effects on b-adrenoceptors of Nigella sativa have been demonstrated on guinea pig tracheal chains. In the present study, the relaxant effects of hydro-ethanolic, macerated aqueous (MA) and lipid-free macerated aqueous (LFMA) extract of Nigella sativa on tracheal chains of gu...
