摘要
The effects of the essential oil of Ocimum gratissimum L. (Labiatae) (EOOG) on guinea pig ileum were studied. EOOG (0.1-1000 mug/ml) reversibly and concentration-dependently relaxed the basal tone of the ileum and reversed the tonic contractions induced by 60 mM KCl and 10 muM acetylcholine, with IC50 values of 23.8 +/- 5.2, 18.6 +/- 4.0 and 70.0 +/- 4.6 mug/ml, respectively. Our results show that EOOG exerts relaxant effects on intestinal smooth muscle, consistent with the popular use of the plant to treat gastrointestinal disorders.
