Abstract

The antihypertensive activity of a phenolic glycoside contained in the leaves of Sapium sebiferum was investigated. From intravenous screening using spontaneously hypertensive rats, 6-O-galloyl-D-glucose was identified as an active substance. The hypotensive action of this compound appears to be produced by an inhibition of noradrenaline release and/or a direct vasodilatation.
