ABSTRACT
This study aimed to compare vasodilation activity of different extracts of Ludwigia octovalvis prepared using hexane, dichloromethane, ethyl acetate, n-butanol, and water. In vitro tests were performed using isolated aorta of guinea pig pre contracted with norepinephrine. The results of these tests indicate that only the ethyl acetate, nbutanol and aqueous extracts possess vasodilatory activity, with respective EC50 values of 0.45, 0.32 and 0.81 mg/ml. N-butanolic extract is the most active. According to these results, the vasodilator molecules of Ludwigia octovalvis are spread in the ethyl acetate, n-butanol and aqueous extracts, but the most active ones would be in the n-butanolic extract.
