Objective: To investigate the vasodilative action of gastrodin
baicalin
tetramethylpyrazine
puerarin and their combinations on rat thoracic aorta
and to select the best combination of hypotensive components. Method: The rat thoracic aorta was taken as specimen and the vasodilative action of single components and their combinations on rat thoracic aorta which was pre-constricted with NE was tested. Result: Gastrodin
baicalin
tetramethylpyrazine and puerarin exerted a dose-dependent vasodilative action on rat isolated thoracic aorta rings. The results of orthogonal optimization experiment showed that the best combination including gastrodin (0.64 g·L-1)
baicalin (0.12 g·L-1)
tetramethylpyrazine (0.32 g·L-1) and puerarin (0.64 g·L-1) presented more obvious contraction than any single component. And the vasodilatation rate was 89.37%. Conclusion: The above components and their combination have vasodilative action on the NE pre-constricted rat thoracic aorta
but the effect of latter is stronger than the former.
