| Abstract |
Hypotensive effect of aqueous extract of Moringa oleifera leaf extract (MOE) has been reported, although little is known regarding its effect on resistance arterioles. The objectives of this study was to investigate the vasorelaxant activity of MOE on resistance arteries isolated from male
Wistar rats, and to gain insight into its mechanism(s) focusing on endothelium-dependent
vasodilatory action. In vitro experiments on perfused mesenteric arterial beds precontracted by methoxamine revealed that injection of MOE (0.001-0.3 mg) into the perfusate caused a concentration-dependent vasorelaxation which was abolished by endothelium denudation. The
endothelium-dependent vasorelaxation of MOE was partially, but significantly inhibited by nonselective nitric oxide (NO) synthase inhibitor Nω-Nitro-L-arginine methyl ester hydrochloride (L-NAME), as well as the soluble guanylate cyclase (sGC) inhibitor 1H-1,2,3]oxadiazolo[4,4-a] quinoxalin-1-one (ODQ). Moreover, inhibition of the hydrogen sulfide (H2S) producing enzyme
cystathionine-gamma-lyase (CSE) by DL-propargylglycine (PAG) significantly abolished MOE
endothelium-dependent response. On the other hand, vasodilatory effect was not significantly affected by the cyclooxygenase (COX) inhibitor indomethacin (INDO). In presence of coapplication of L-NAME and INDO, the persisting MOE endothelium-dependent relaxation was
completely inhibited by the ATP-dependent potassium channel (KATP) blocker glibenclamide
comparable to MOE response in denuded preparations. This study provided the first evidence of in vitro vasorelaxant action of MOE indicating that the relaxant activity of MOE on rat mesenteric artery predominantly relies on endothelium-dependent signaling likely through NOsGC and H2S-KATP pathways. Additional mechanisms underlying endothelium-independent
vasorelaxation of MOE await further investigations. MOE has the potential for developing as a
medicinal natural substance in the treatment of cardiovascular diseases through its vasodilatory and antihypertensive action. |
