Abstract/OtherAbstract:
Oxidative stress induced by overproduction of reactive oxygen species (ROS) plays an important role in hypoxia/reoxygenation (H/R) injury. In the present study, effects of salvianolic acid A (1) on heart H/R injury through its antioxidant activity were examined, using a molecule-based ROS scavenging system and cardiomyocyte model of H/R injury, as well as isolated rat heart model. As a result, 1 showed a potent antioxidant activity, scavenging all of the tested ROS and DPPH (2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl). The antioxidant effect of 1 was also observed in cardiomyocytes exposed to H/R. Compound 1 remarkably decreased dihydroethidium and dichlorofluorescein fluorescence and increased cell viability and mitochondrial membrane potential, ΔΨ(m), when compared to the H/R group. In isolated rat hearts exposed to H/R, 1 markedly increased the coronary flow, the peak of pressure development and the valley of pressure development, and significantly reduced the left ventricular end diastolic pressure when compared to the H/R group. These results suggested that 1 had significant protective effects against H/R-induced myocardial injury through its antioxidant activity.
