Comparative Study between Effect of Engineering Niuhuang Jiangya Capsule and Artificial Niuhuang Jiangya Capsule on Blood Pressure in Spontaneously Hypertension Rats
Objective:To compare the effect of engineering Niuhuang Jiangya capsule (ENJC) and artificial Niuhuang Jiangya capsule (ANJC) on blood pressure in spontaneously hypertension rats (SHR).Method:SHR were randomly divided into 7 groups in accordance with the systolic blood pressure:model control group,ANJC group and enalapril control group,and ENJC groups (80%,60%,30%,10% alternated respectively).SHR were given oral drug for 14 d accordingly.ALC-NIBP blood pressure monitoring system was employed to determine blood pressure before drug given and at 5 h,6,10,14 d after drug administration,the blood pressure of 3,7 d after drug application was also monitored.Result:After administration of 5 h,the rats of 80% ENJC showed significantly (P < 0.05) reduced blood pressure [(SBP (139.25 ± 19.24) mmHg,DBP (105.69 ± 19.18) mmHg],compared with the control group [(SBP (187.2 ± 19.64) mmHg,DBP (123.76 ±18.43) mmHg] On the 6 d of administration 80% and 60% ENJC showed significant antihypertensive effect,and the reduced DBP tended to be stable.After taking drug for 14 days,the hypotensive effect of 80% ENJC was most obvious.ENJC of 80% and 60% had significant effect of reducing heart rate.The function is proportional to the dose of ENJC.ANJC did not show the similar effect.Conclusion:Antihypertensive effect of ENJC is better than the original ANJC,with less dose,rapid onset and stonger and lasting effect.
