[0001] The present invention relates to the application of aloperine (Aloperine, ALO), in particular to the application of aloperine in the preparation of drugs for treating myocardial hypertrophy. Background technique
[0002] Cardiac hypertrophy is the adaptive response of the heart to adapt to various mechanical and neurohormonal stimuli. During the compensatory phase, the heart improves its pumping function by increasing the work output of the cardiomyocytes. But as the overload persists, this compensatory mechanism can develop into decompensated myocardial hypertrophy, leading to heart failure. The pathological changes of cardiac hypertrophy include the hypertrophy of cardiomyocytes and the proliferation and differentiation of fibroblasts, which are manifested as the increase of heart volume and mass.
[0003] Nitric oxide (NO) is a vasodilator factor synthesized and released by vascular endothelial cells. It is formed with L-arginine as a substrate an...
