Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is a milestone in treating acute myocardial infarction (AMI). Early reperfusion can instantaneously open the occluded coronary artery, rescuing the ischemic myocardium. (1) However, myocardial ischemia and reperfusion (I/R) injury, which can trigger death of myocytes, seriously affects clinical effectiveness of PCI. An animal study showed that 50% of the infarct area were caused by myocardial I/R injury. (2) Many signaling molecules and mechanisms are postulated to modulate myocardial I/R injury, such as calcium overload, reactive oxygen species, energy metabolism dysfunction of myocardial fibers, cellular adhesion molecules, neutrophils, vascular endothelial cells, and apoptosis, etc. (1) Several agents, such as freeradical scavengers and inhibitors of the immune system, have been shown to protect heart from I/R injury. Although it has been actively studied for more than 35 years, myocardial I/R injury is still not yet treated effectively. The high mortality and non-availability of suitable drug treatments led to heightened interest in developing early stage therapies to prevent death of myocytes following myocardial I/R, and to improve the life span and quality in patients after AMI. (3) Suxiao Jiuxin Pill (速效救心丸, SXJ), which formula can be found in the latest 2015 Chinese Pharmacopoeia, is made up of 2 herbs, Rhizoma Chuanxiong and Borneolum. (4) SXJ contains 4 active ingredients: ferulic acid, menthol, borenol, and isoborneol; and is widely used for treating AMI and angina pectoris in China for more than 30 years. (5) Previous publications reported that SXJ could alleviate acute myocardial ischemia, prevent the formation of atherosclerosis (AS) and induce potent relaxation and inhibition on contraction in human artery.
