Neryl butyrate induces contractile effects on isolated preparations of rat aorta

Neryl butyrate is a constituent of volatile oils obtained from aromatic plants. Aliphatic organic compound analogues chemically close to neryl butyrate possess vasodilator properties in rat aorta. To evaluate whether neryl butyrate has relaxing properties, this study tested its effects on isolated rat aorta. Unlike the analogues, neryl butyrate did not show relaxant profile in aortic rings precontracted with phenylephrine, but induced a...
