EVALUATION OF A POLYHERBAL FORMULATION IN EXPERIMENTALLY INDUCED ASTHMA IN SPRAGUE DAWLEY RATS Authors: Sutar J* And Chakraborthy GS
ABSTRACT
Asthma is defined as an airway hyperresponsiveness which is basically brought on by chronic
inflammation which causes repeated events of wheeziness, breathless-ness, stiffness in chest, and/or
coughing that might change over time and it’s concentration might also change with time. Various
epidemiological study it is found that asthma is one the utmost widespread long-lasting disease with
high morbidity and low mortality rate. There are various medications for the treatment; leukotriene
modifiers, corticosteroids, ? adrenergic agonists, anti-cholinergics, and others, but these give us just
symptomatic effects and these also have various side or adverse effects. Whereas, variety of
medications from, various plant sources have been studied for their potential anti-asthmatic properties
in the course of past periods of years with little to no adverse effects. The target of the investigation
is to show the efficacy of Polyherbal formulation acting through different mechanism of action and
show its effect on experimentally induced asthma. Here, Grouping of 5 which 6 animal (Sprague
Dawley Rat) in each group, i.e. Normal Control, Disease Control, Standard Control, Low Dose of
Polyherbal formulation and High Dose of Polyherbal formulation based on Acute Oral Toxicity. From
this study, it is observed that low dose of Polyherbal Formulation in comparison to Standard Control
(Montelukast sodium) is showing better efficacy by detection of various biochemical parameters and
histopathological parameters of every group.
