The effect of CH-123, a new antiarteriosclerotic pyrido-1,2a-pyramide derivate was checked in experimental atherosclerosis of rabbits. Cholesterol deposition was found to continue after 4-week cholesterol feeding even after the cholesterol level had returned to normal. This allowed to study the action of drugs in a phase dominated by lipid apposition to the vascular wall. In the experiments, clofibrate was used for reference. As judged by the lipid values in serum and aortic wall, CH-123 reduced substantially the deposition of lipids, mainly of cholesterol, into the aortic wall.

Background: Atherosclerosis serves as the fundamental pathology for a variety of cardiovascular disorders, with its pathogenesis being closely tied to the complex interplay among lipid metabolism, oxidative stress, and inflammation. Wogonoside is a natural flavonoid extracted from Scutellaria baicalensis with a variety of biological activities, including anti-inflammatory, hypolipidemic, and cardiac function improvement properties. Despite these known effects, the specific role of wogonoside in the context of atherosclerosis remains to be elucidated.
