Administration of CAY10505 (0.6 mg/kg, p.o.), Losartan (25 mg/kg, p.o.), or Atorvastatin (30 mg/kg, p.o.) significantly increases serum nitrite and (or) nitrate concentrations in hypertensive rats. Acetylcholine (ACh) and Sodium nitroprusside (SNP) produce endothelium-dependent and-independent relaxation in isolated rat aortic ring precontracted with Phenylephrine (3 μM), in a dose dependent manner. Administration of CAY10505 (0.6 mg/kg,p.o.), Losartan (25 mg/kg, p.o.), or Atorvastatin (30 mg/kg, p.o.) significantly prevents hypertension-induced attenuation of ACh-induced endothelium-dependent relaxation. Deoxycorticosterone acetate salt (DOCA, 40 mg/kg, s.c.) induced hypertension markedly attenuates acetylcholine-induced endothelium-dependent relaxation, but does not affect SNP-induced endotheliumindependent relaxation.
