Since the 7-methoxyflavone flavonoid (7-MF), one of the major components isolated from Zornia brasiliensis Vogel, showed in vitro tocolytic effect in rats, it was decided to characterize this mechanism. The rat uterus was placed in baths for isolated organ where isotonic and isometric contractions were monitored (n = 5). It was observed that 7-MF relaxed the pre-contracted rat uterus by both oxytocin (OCI) (EC5...
