The effect of DMSO (0.5%), imperatorin (75 μM), and verapamil (10 μM) on the spontaneous motoric activity of rat isolated jejunum specimens.

	Basal tone	AUC
DMSO (0.5%)	−0.45 ± 4.92∗#	0.21 ± 4.16∗#
Imperatorin (75 μM)	188.04 ± 50.54∗▲#	181.43 ± 31.65∗▲
Imperatorin (100 μM)	208.41 ± 29.37∗▲#	237.03 ± 45.41∗▲
Verapamil (10 μM)	179.62 ± 24.37∗▲	211.10 ± 41.17∗▲

The results are expressed as % of the relaxation caused by isoproterenol applied in the reference dose 0.1 μM. The relaxation provoked by isoproterenol in the reference dose is expressed as 100%. The results are expressed as mean from 6-7 independent experiments (±SD). ^∗ p ≤ 0.05 versus Isop, ^▲ p ≤ 0.05 versus DMSO, 0.5%, and ^# p ≤ 0.05 versus verapamil.
