l -Tetrahydropalmatine ( l -THP) is an active ingredients of Corydalis  yanhusuo W.T. Wang , which protects against acute global cerebral ischaemia-reperfusion injury. In this study, we show that  l -THP is cardioprotective in myocardial ischaemia-reperfusion injury and examined the mechanism. Rats were treated with  l -THP (0, 10, 20, 40 mg/kg b.w.) for 20 min before occlusion of the left anterior descending coronary artery and subjected to myocardial ischaemia-reperfusion (30 min/6 h). Compared with vehicle-treated animals, the infarct area/risk area (IA/RA) of  l -THP (20, 40 mg/kg b.w.) treated rats was reduced, whilst  l -THP (10 mg/kg b.w.) had no significant effect. Cardiac function was improved in  l -THP-treated rats whilst plasma creatine kinase activity declined. Following treatment with  l -THP (20 mg/kg b.w.), subunit of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase p85, serine 473  phosphorylation of Akt and serine 1177  phosphorylation of endothelial NO synthase (eNOS) increased in myocardium, whilst expression of inducible NO synthase (iNOS) decreased. However, the expression of HIF-1α and VEGF were increased in I 30 min R 6 h , but decreased to normal level in I 30 min R 24 h , while treatment with  l -THP (20 mg/kg b.w.) enhanced the levels of these two genes in I 30 min R 24 h . Production of NO in myocardium and plasma, activity of myeloperoxidase (MPO) in plasma and the expression of tumour necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) in myocardium were decreased by  l- THP. TUNEL assay revealed that  l -THP (20 mg/kg b.w.) reduced apoptosis in myocardium. Thus, we show that  l -THP activates the PI3K/Akt/eNOS/NO pathway and increases expression of HIF-1α and VEGF, whilst depressing iNOS-derived NO production in myocardium. This effect may decrease the accumulation of inflammatory factors, including TNF-α and MPO, and lessen the extent of apoptosis, therefore contributing to the cardioprotective effects of  l -THP in myocardial ischaemia-reperfusion injury.
