Abstract
The sesquiterpene capsidiol, isolated from elicited, cultured cells of Nicotiana silvestris, inhibits contraction induced by the agonists, histamine, acetylcholine, bradykinin, and barium chloride in the isolated guinea-pig ileum. In addition, capsidiol inhibits contraction induced by histamine and carbachol in the isolated guinea-pig trachea in a nonspecific and noncompetitive but concentration-dependent manner. Capsidiol also inhibits prostaglandin synthesis (cyclooxygenase) in vitro in a concentration dependent manner.
