Abstract:Objective: To study the effects of resvaratrol derivatives on spontaneous HR and CF of isolated guinea pig atrium. Method: The dose-effect curve of resvaratrol was observed. The possible mechanism of potassium channels responsible for changes of CF and HR after administering with resvaratrol was measured. Result: Resvaratrol reduced the spontaneous HR and weakened the CF in a dose-dependent manner ranging from 10-6 to 3×10-4mol·L-1 (P<0.05). As compared with Res group, the effects were partly blocked by Gli (P<0.05) and TEA (P<0.01), but not blocked by 4-AP, BaCl2, Atropine. Conclusion: Resvaratrol can induce negative chronotropic action and negative inotropic action. The mechanism (s) may relate to the opening of KATP and KCa.
