| Résumé : | In Congolese traditional medicine, decoctions of Hymenocardia acida root bark (HaRB) and trunk bark (HaTrB) are used for the treatment of conditions assumed to be hypertension. In this work, we propose to study the vasorelaxant effect of HaRB and HaTrB methanolic extracts on isolated rat thoracic aorta, to characterize the group of molecules responsible for the observed vasorelaxant activity, to evaluate the in vitro antioxidant activity of these extracts and to determine the antihypertensive activity of the HaRB extract on spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR). |
