چکیده

the β2-adrenergic effects of macerated extract, aqueous extract, ethanol extract, and essential oil of carum copticum, 5 nm propranolol, and saline were tested by performing cumulative log concentration-response curves of isoprenaline-induced relaxation of precontracted isolated guinea pig tracheal chains in three different conditions including: non-incubated (group 1, n=9) incubated with 1 µm chlorpheniramine and 1 µm atropine (group 2, n=8) and incubated with 1 µm chlorpheniramine (group 3, n=6). the effective concentration of isoprenaline, causing 50% of maximum response (ec50), the maximum response, and the slope of isoprenaline curves obtained in the presence of extracts, essential oil, and propranolol were compared with those of saline. the results showed clear leftward shifts in isoprenaline curves obtained in the presence of only the ethanol extract compared with those of saline in group 1. in groups 2 and 3 the same finding was observed, although the effect of ethanol extract was tested in the presence of propranolol. the ec50 and maximum response obtained in the presence of ethanol extract were similar to those of saline in all three sets of experiments. however, the maximum response obtained in the presence of other extracts, essential oil, and even propranolol were lower than those for saline in all sets of experiments (p<0.05 to p<0.001). the ec50s obtained in the presence of essential oil, macerated and aqueous extracts, and even propranolol were greater than those obtained in the presence of saline in the two last sets of experiments (p<0.05 to p<0.001). the maximum response obtained in the presence of only ethanol extract in group 3 compared to group 2 was reduced (p<0.05). the results of this study indicate a stimulatory effect of only the ethanol extract of carum copticum on β2-adrenoceptors.

Stimulatory Effect of Nigella Sativa on Β2-adrenoceptors of Guinea Pig Tracheal Chains

Our previous studies have demonstrated the relaxant, anticholinergic (functional antagonism), antihistaminic, and inhibitory effect of calcium channels of Nigella sativa on guinea pig tracheal chains. To investigate the other mechanism responsible for the relaxant effect of this plant, the stimulatory effect of Nigella sativa on ß 2 -adrenergic receptors in tracheal chains of the guinea pig was...

BRONCHODILATORY AND ANTICHOLINERGIC EFFECTS OF CARUM CARVI ON ISOLATED GUINEA PIG TRACHEAL CHAINS

Carum carvi (CC) is a grassy plant which is believed to have several therapeutic effects, including anti-asthmatic properties. We have therefore studied the bronchodilatory and anticholinergic effects of this plant. The bronchodilatory effects of the aqueous extract (AE), macerated extract (ME), essential oil (EO), and 4µM theophylline (T) in comparison with saline (S) were examined by the...

BRONCHODILATORY AND AN TICHOLINERGIC EFFECTS OF Carum copticum ON ISOLATED GUINEA PIG TRACHEAL CHAINS

Carum copticum is a grassy and annual plant which is believed to have several therapeutic effects, including anti-asthmatic properties. We have therefore studied the bronchodilatory and anticholinergic effects of 4 rnL aqueous extract (AE), 0.0 5 mL ethanol extract (EE), and 0.0 0 5 mL essential oil (EO) of Carum copticum and 1 rnL of a 5 mM solution of its main ingredient, thymol (T), in ...

Stimulatory effect of Crocus sativus (saffron) on beta2-adrenoceptors of guinea pig tracheal chains.

To study the mechanism(s) of the relaxant effects of Crocus sativus (Iridaceae), the stimulatory effect of aqueous-ethanolic extracts of this plant and one of its constituent, safranal was examined on beta-adrenoceptors in tracheal chains of guinea pigs. The beta(2)-adrenergic stimulatory was tested by performing the cumulative concentration-response curves of isoprenaline-induced relaxation of...

Antihistaminic Effect of Bunium persicum on Guinea Pig Tracheal Chains

In a previous study, the relaxant and anticholinergic (functional antagonism) effects of Bunium persicum (B. persicum ) have been demonstrated on guinea pig tracheal chains. To elucidate the other mechanisms responsible for this relaxant effect, the inhibitory effect of this plant on histamine H1 receptors was examined in this study. The antihistaminic effects of aqueous and macerated extracts,...
