Chrysosplenol C [5,6-dihydroxy-2-(4-hydroxy-3-methoxyphenyl)-3,7-dimethoxychromen-4-one] is a flavonoid found in Miliusa balansae and Pterocaulon sphacelatum. We have recently shown that chrysosplenol C has positive inotropic effect in isolated rat ventricular myocytes. In the present study, we explored a possible mechanism for the positive inotropic effect of chrysosplenol C by examining intracellular $Ca^{2+}$ transients during action potentials. The intracellular $Ca^{2+}$ transients were measured by confocal $Ca^{2+}$ imaging in field-stimulated single rat ventricular myocytes. Chrysosplenol C (50 ${\mu}M$) significantly increased the magnitudes (${\Delta}F/F_0$) of $Ca^{2+}$ transients (control, $1.08{\pm}0.05$; chrysosplenol C, $1.25{\pm}0.03$; n=8, P<0.01). Half decay time of the action potential-induced $Ca^{2+}$ transient was not altered by chrysosplenol C (50 ${\mu}M$) (control, $154{\pm}6$ ms; chrysosplenol C, $167{\pm}11$ ms; n=21). The $Ca^{2+}$ content in the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR), measured as caffeine (10 mM)-induced $Ca^{2+}$ transient, was significantly decreased by chrysosplenol C (50 ${\mu}M$). These results indicate that chrysosplenol C increases $Ca^{2+}$ transients without altering $Ca^{2+}$ removal kinetics in ventricular myocytes, providing a possible mechanism for its positive inotropic effect.
