Dracaena cinnabari (DC) grows there \u0026amp; widely used in folk medicine. This work aimed to analyze the plant chemically \u0026amp; to study the biological effects of some of its purified compounds \u0026amp; aqueous extract (AE) on rat isolated smooth muscles (ISM), perfused heart (PH), blood pressure (BP) and diuresis. Chemical analysis of the resin of DC resulted in the isolation of 5 flavonoids: 4,4¿-dihydroxy-2¿-methoxychalcone, 4,4¿-dihydroxy-2-methoxydihydrochalcone, 7-hydroxy-3-(3-hydroxy-4-methoxybenzyl) chroman, 7-hydroxy-3-(4-hydroxybenzyl) chroman, and 2¿,4,4¿-trihydroxychalcone. The last compound was isolated for the 1st time from DC. The 1st two compounds had a concentration dependent (CD) effect on rat ISM. Also, it had a CD stimulatory effect on the contractility \u0026amp; an inhibitory effect on heart rate of isolated PH. In addition, it reduced the arterial BP \u0026amp; caused an increase in the rate of urine excretion. The AE of DC caused similar results. Finally, the effects of AE of DC \u0026amp; some of its purified compounds on rat ISM, PH, BP \u0026amp; diuresis are well consistent with the use of this plant in folk medicine.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"aw-variant-hidden-subtitle-div\" id=\"aw-variant-subtitle-9783847300342\"\u003e\u003ch3\u003eThe Chemical Constituents \u0026amp; Biological Effects of Selected Chemical Ingredients\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Autorenwelt Shop","offers":[{"title":"Softcover - 9783847300342","offer_id":39472681844829,"sku":"9783847300342","price":59.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0940\/0622\/files\/b6506bc5-4855-4b08-902d-1218566999e8.jpg?v=1770874785","url":"https:\/\/shop.autorenwelt.de\/products\/dracaena-cinnabari-von-yahya-al-awthan-shtaywy-abdalla-und-musa-abu-zarga","provider":"Autorenwelt Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
