Effect of a combination of coumarin derivatives and rutoside on venous and lymphatic circulations during severe constriction of the caudal vena cava in rabbits.
The effect of a coumarin (CAS 91-64-5) derivatives-rutoside (CAS 153-18-4) combination (Esberiven) has been investigated in an in vivo model of venous hind leg stasis elicited by severe constriction of the caudal vena cava in anesthetized rabbits. The vena cava flow is initially reduced by 80% compared to reference values; then, it significantly declines over time. The venous femoral pressure drops as well as the perfusion pressure whereas the peripheral resistance increases. The popliteal lymph flow gradually slows down after the constriction. Moreover, this venous constriction results in a marked reduction of the right ventricular stroke volume responsible for a left ventricle failure and for the exitus of 30% of the rabbits within 1-3 h post-constriction. A 5-day pretreatment (i.v.) with the coumarin derivatives-rutoside combination at a dose of 4 mg of coumarin derivatives + 200 mg of rutoside/rabbit/day increases the lymph flow but does not suppress the mechanically-induced venous flow decrease. The 6th-day treatment (infusion at the respective doses of 5 mg of coumarin derivatives + 250 mg of rutoside/kg or 10 mg of coumarin derivatives + 500 mg of rutoside/kg) induces a dose-related significant increase of both venous and lymph flows and of the femoral pressure. At the same time, the peripheral venous resistance decreases in a dose-response relationship. Furthermore, after administration of coumarin derivatives and rutoside, the right ventricle stroke volume increases and no death occurs.
