Vasorelaxant effect of <i>Valeriana edulis</i> ssp. <i>procera</i> (Valerianaceae) and its mode of action as calcium channel blocker

Abstract

Our results suggest that HEVe induces relaxation through an endothelium-independent pathway, involving blockade of Ca(2+) channels, and this effect could be related to the presence of valepotriates.
