Function Of Rhizoma Chuanxiong Extract

Rhizoma Chuanxiong Extract relieved norepinephrine-induced spasm of micro-arteries, veins and capillaries in the buccal capsule of goldenrod gopher, resulting in accelerated slowed blood flow and increased reduced blood flow. Rhizoma Chuanxiong has a significant delaying effect on the occurrence of microcirculatory disorders such as cessation or slowing of microarterial blood flow and contraction of tubular diameter caused by adrenaline, and has a dilating effect on microarteria.
Rhizoma Chuanxiong Extract has a significant inhibitory effect on platelet aggregation and can cause rapid deconcentration of already aggregated platelets. It also inhibits the production of malondialdehyde in platelets, but has no inhibitory effect on platelet aggregation induced by exogenous arachidonic acid.
Rhizoma Chuanxiong Extract can significantly increase the free renal blood flow, and its effect is dependent on the drug dose, and has a significant diuretic effect.
