ETHNOPHARMACOLOGICAL RELEVANCE: Phragmanthera incana (Schum) Balle is a member of the African mistletoes that has been reported to be used in ethnomedicine for the treatment of hypertension.
AIM: The aim of this study was to investigate the antihypertensive effect of Phragmanthera incana leaf ethanol extract (PILEE) in NG-nitro-L-arginine methyl ester (L-NAME)-induced hypertensive rats.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: Phytochemical analysis of PILEE was determined using the Gas chromatography - Mass spectrophotometry (GC-MS) method. Antihypertensive activity was investigated in rats that received PILEE (50, 100 and 200 mg/kg) or captopril (40 mg/kg) daily for 28 days together with oral administration of L-NAME (40 mg/kg). Blood pressure parameters were measured on day 7, 14, 21 and 28. Blood was obtained for determination of serum nitrite, interleukin-6 (IL-6) and tumor necrosis factor, TNF-α. The heart, liver and kidneys were used to determine oxidative stress indices (malondialdehyde, reduced glutathione and catalase). The cardiac tissue was processed for histopathological changes.
RESULTS: The GC-MS profiling of PILEE identified 20 compounds namely fatty acid esters. Administration of PILEE (50, 100 and 200 mg/kg) dose dependently and significantly reduced systolic blood pressure and mean arterial pressure in hypertensive rats. PILEE administration significantly (p < 0.05) reversed elevated IL-6 and TNF-α in hypertensive rats. PILEE demonstrated antioxidant activity by attenuating L-NAME-induced elevated malondialdehyde and depletion of reduced glutathione and catalase activity in rat tissues. PILEE treatment demonstrated cardioprotective effect in L-NAME-induced cardiac hyperplasia and necrosis in rats.
CONCLUSION: It can be concluded that Phragmanthera incana leaf ethanol extract possess antihypertensive, antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, suggesting a protective role in cardiovascular diseases.
