چکیده

Background: The diterpene Sclareol has antimicrobial action, cytotoxic and cytostatic effects and anti-tumor activities. However, researches on the cardiovascular system are scarce. Objective: This study was designed to investigate the mechanisms involved in the Sclareol cardiovascular effect in normotensive and hypertensive rats. Methods: The arterial hypertension was promoted using 2-kidneys 1-clip model in rats. The effect of sclareol on blood pressure was performed by using three dose (10, 20 and 40 mg/kg). Cumulative dose-response curves for Sclareol were determined for endothelium-intact and endothelium-denuded aortic rings in presence or absence of L-NAME and ODQ. The NOx levels were measure in the plasma sample. Results: The Sclareol administration in vivo caused a significant reduction in blood pressure in both groups. In vitro the sclareol promoted relaxation in aorta, with endothelium, pre-contracted to Phe. The inhibitors of the nitric oxide synthase and soluble guanylate cyclase were as efficient as the removal of endothelium, in inhibiting the Sclareol-induced relaxation. Otherwise, it was no change of NOx. Also, for unknown reasons, the Sclareol is not selective for hypertensive animals. Conclusion: The diterpene Sclareol showed in vivo hypotensive and in-vitro vasodilator effects; The chemiluminescence plasmatic NO analysis showed no significant difference between groups and The Sclareol exhibit better effect on normotensive than hypertensive animals to reduce blood pressure. It is concluded that the diterpenes metabolites would be a promising source prototype for the development of new agents in the cardiovascular therapy. Fundamento: O diterpeno Esclareol tem ação antimicrobiana, efeitos citotóxicos e citostáticos e atividades antitumorais. No entanto, pesquisas sobre o sistema cardiovascular são escassas. Objetivo: Este estudo foi desenvolvido para investigar os mecanismos envolvidos no efeito cardiovascular de Esclareol em ratos normotensos e hipertensos. Métodos: A hipertensão arterial foi promovida utilizando modelo de 2 clones de 1-clipe em ratos. O efeito do esclareol sobre a pressão arterial foi realizado utilizando três doses (10, 20 e 40 mg/kg). As curvas dose-resposta cumulativas para Esclareol foram determinadas para anéis aórticos endotélio-intactos e desprovidos de endotélio na presença ou ausência de L-NAME e ODQ. Os níveis de NOx foram medidos na amostra de plasma. Resultados: A administração de Esclareol in vivo causou uma redução significativa na pressão sanguínea em ambos os grupos. In vitro o esclareol promoveu relaxamento na aorta, com endotélio, pré-contraído a Phe. Os inibidores da óxido nítrico sintase e da guanilato ciclase solúvel foram tão eficientes quanto a remoção do endotélio, na inibição do relaxamento induzido por Esclareol. Por outra parte, não houve mudança de NOx. Além disso, por razões desconhecidas, o Sclareol não é seletivo para animais hipertensos. Conclusão: O diterpeno Esclareol apresentou efeitos hipotensores in vivo e vasodilatadores in vitro; A análise de NO plasmático por quimioluminescência não mostrou diferença significativa entre os grupos e O Esclareol exibe melhor efeito sobre os animais normotensos do que hipertensos para reduzir a pressão arterial. Conclui-se que os metabólitos de diterpenos seriam um protótipo de fonte promissora para o desenvolvimento de novos agentes na terapia cardiovascular.
