Nn-9, a non-crystalline alkaloid of lotus heart, has a strong antihypertensive effect. Anesthetized cats injected intravenously 1 ~ 2 mg / kg, can reduce the original blood pressure level of about 50%, maintained for 2 ~ 3 hours; dog blood pressure in half an hour that is restored; rabbits do not lower blood pressure.
