Abstract
The inhibitory effects of 22 xanthones from three Guttiferae plants (Hypericum patulum, Calophyllum inophyllum and C. austroindium) on exogeneous platelet activating factor (PAF)-induced hypotension were examined using a blood pressure monitoring in vivo assay method. Guanandin (2), caloxanthone E (3), 1,3,5,6-tetrahydroxy-2-isoprenylxanthone (8), 6-deoxyjacareubin (11) and patulone (18) showed strong inhibition of PAF-induced hypotension, with inhibitory effects of more than 60 %. Their ID50 values were greater than that of ginkgolide B (BN-52 021), a natural PAF-antagonist from the Ginkgo biloba.
