Aurantio-obtusin blocks ASM contraction. (A) Separation of EESC components and the standard aurantio-obtusin were analyzed with HPLC. One peak of EESC overlapped with that of the standard aurantio-obtusin. These experiments were conducted twice, and the same results were acquired. (B,C) aurantio-obtusin blocked the contraction of ASM from TRs induced by ACh and high K⁺, and from lung slices provoked by ACh. These results indicate that aurantio-obtusin, which is one component of EESC, inhibits ASM contraction.
