Background Numerous food wastes have been identified to possess potent bioactive compounds used for the treatment of several diseases. Therefore this study evaluated the potentials of cardiac and quercetin glycosides extracted from Dacryodes edulis seeds to reverse vascular and endothelial damage (VAED). Methods The glycoside composition of the seeds was extracted using standard methods and characterized by gas chromatography. We then recruited rats with L-NAME-induced VAED based on confirmatory biomarkers cardiac troponin (CnT), cellular adhesion molecule (VCAM-1), lipoprotein associated phospholipase A2 (Lp-PLA2), RAAS, VWF, endothelin, eNOx, and homocysteine. Only rats that showed total alterations of all biomarkers were recruited into the respective experimental groups and treated with either metaprolol succinate (met.su) + losartan or glycoside extracts of D. edulis seeds (NPSG). Results Chromatographic isolation of glycosides in the seed showed predominance of artemetin (1.59 mg/100 g), amygdalin (3.68 mg/100 g), digitoxin (19.21 mg/100 g), digoxin (27.23 mg/100 g), avicularin (133.59 mg/100 g), and hyperoside (481.76 mg/100 g). We observed decreased water intake and higher heart beats under vascular damage as the experiment progressed up to the fourth week. The met.su + losartan and H.D NPSG proved effective in restoring troponin, but both doses of NPSG normalized the VCAM-1 and RAAS activities excluding aldosterone and Lp-PLA2. Among the endothelial dysfunction biomarkers, H.D NPSG produced equivalent effects to met.su + losartan towards restoring the eNOx and VWF activities, but showed higher potency in normalizing the endothelin and Hcy levels. Conclusions We thus propose that the synergistic effect of the isolated glycosides from D. edulis shown in our study proved potent enough at high doses in treatment of vascular and endothelial dysfunction.
