Cardiovascular effects of intravenous (i.v.) treatment with the essential oil of
the bark of Aniba canelilla were investigated in normotensive rats. In both
pentobarbital-anesthetized and conscious rats, i.v. bolus injections of Aniba
canelilla (1 to 20 mg/kg) elicited similar and dose-dependent hypotension and
bradycardia. Our data show that i.v. treatment of rats with Aniba canelilla
induces dose-dependent hypotension and bradycardia, which occurred
independently. The bradycardia appears mainly dependent upon the presence of an
operational and functional parasympathetic drive to the heart. However, the
hypotension is due to an active vascular relaxation rather than withdrawal of
sympathetic tone. This relaxation seems partly mediated by an endothelial L-arginine
/ nitric oxide pathway through peripheral muscarinic receptor activation
(endothelium-dependent relaxation) and predominantly through an inhibition of
calcium inward current (endothelium-independent relaxation)..
