| Abstract | Cuphea ignea A. DC. isan ornamentaltropical plant belonging to the family Lythraceae. The aim of thisstudy is to verify the in vivo antihypertensive potentialof C. ignea A. DC. and to explore itsmetabolic profile using a UHPLC-Orbitrap-HRMS technique. The resultsrevealed that the ethanolic extract of the leaves in two doses (250and 500 mg/kg b.wt.) significantly normalized the elevated systolicblood pressure in N(G)-nitro-l-arginine-methyl ester-inducedhypertension in rats. An angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) concentrationwas significantly decreased by the high dose extract compared to lisinopril.Nitric oxide (NO) level was significantly restored by both doses.Concerning the oxidative stress parameters, both doses displayed significantreduction in malondialdehyde (MDA) level while the high dose restoredelevated glutathione level. These biochemical results were clearlysupported by the histopathological examination of the isolated heartand aorta. A UHPLC-Orbitrap-HRMS study was represented by a detailedmetabolic profile of leaves and flowers of C. ignea A. DC., where 53 compounds were identified among which flavonoids,fatty acids, and hydrolysable tannins were the major identified classes.This study established scientific evidence for the use of C. ignea A. DC., a member of genus Cuphea as a complementary treatment in the management of hypertension. |
