Introduction:
Paeoniflorin has the effect of relaxing smooth muscle cells, and the reduction of Ca2+ plays an important role in the relaxation of smooth muscle cells of paeoniflorin. Paeoniflorin may relax smooth muscle cells by regulating the exchange of Ca2+/Na+ in the cell membrane. In gastrointestinal smooth muscle cells, the membrane potential determines the contractile and diastolic functions of the gastrointestinal tract by affecting the excitability of the smooth muscle cells. The pharmacological effects of paeoniflorin are mainly to inhibit the excitation of parasympathetic nerves, reduce the tension of smooth muscle and inhibit its movement.
Intravenous injection of paeoniflorin can significantly reduce the blood sugar of streptozotocin-induced diabetic mice, and the blood sugar content in plasma also decreases gradually with the prolongation of administration time. The strongest effect occurred 25 minutes after administration. Paeoniflorin reduces the level of glucose in plasma, and the effect is related to the amount (1 ~ 10mg/kg body weight).
