Bronchodilator activity of Mikania glomerata Sprengel on human bronchi and guinea-pig trachea

Abstract: The effects of aqueous extracts and hydro-alcoholic extract (HAE), and of a dichloromethane fraction (MG1) obtained from the HAE of Mikania glomerata leaves on isolated respiratory and vascular smooth muscle have been investigated. Aqueousextracts and HAE induced a significant inhibition on the histamine contractions on the isolated guinea-pig trachea. HAE extract induced a concentration-dependent relaxation on guinea-pig trachea pre-contracted with histamine (IC50 0.34 (0.29-0.39) mg mL(-1)), acetylcholine (I… Show more

“…It is largely used in Brazil to treat asthma and bronquitis due to its content in coumarin, the main constituent of this plant (Oliveira et al, 1993;De Moura et al, 2002). This substance is responsible, at least in part, for the smooth muscle relaxing properties of the extracts of this plant.…”

“…Nessa mesma espécie, em ensaios com extratos aquoso e hidroalcoólico utilizando modelos de traquéia de cobaia e brônquio humano isolados verificouse que o efeito relaxante sobre a musculatura lisa do trato respiratório pode estar relacionado ao bloqueio dos canais de cálcio, sendo que a presença de cumarina nos extratos não interferiu nos resultados (Moura et al, 2002). Em ensaios farmacológicos in vivo e in vitro realizados com o extrato hidroalcoólico e uma solução padrão de cumarina, ambos demonstraram efeitos espasmolítico, antiedematogênico e broncodilatador.…”
