摘要: AbstractContext: Woodfordia fruticosa Kurz. (Lythraceae) flowers are ethnopharmacologically acclaimed in the Indian medicinal system to treat asthma.Objective: To evaluate W. flower extracts for anti-asthmatic effect.Materials and methods: Ethyl acetate, acetone, methanol, hydro-alcohol of were obtained successively standardized. Ability stabilize free radicals compound-48/80-induced mast cell degranulation was evaluated. In vitro anti-inflammatory potential at 100 200 µg/ml by membrane stabilization vivo inhibition rat paw edema up 5 h (100 200 mg/ml; p.o.) bronchorelaxant effect examined against histamine- acetylcholine (1 µg/ml; independently)-induced guinea pig tracheal contraction. Extracts evaluated bronchoprotection (in vivo) ability 0.1% 2% acetylcholine-induced bronchospasm pigs p.o.Results: Standardizat...
