title: Antihypertensive action of a procyanidin glycoside from Rhamnus lycioides.
abstract: The antihypertensive action of a procyanidin glycoside isolated from Rhamnus lycioides aerial parts was studied in spontaneously and renal hypertensive rats. This compound, like 20 micrograms/kg i.v. of captopril, produced a very clear in vivo inhibition of angiotensin I converting enzyme when given at a dose of 3 mg/kg i.v.
