| Abstract | Curcuma longa, Zingiber officinale and Alpinia galanga are traditionally and scientifically reported for the treatment of respiratory disorders such as asthma, bronchial congestion and allergic reactions in respiratory tract. As part of a continuing effort aimed at the development of efficacious bronchodilator and anticataleptic herbal formulation for the treatment of asthma and related respiratory diseases. We have formulated herbal capsules (AHF) using Curcuma longa, Zingiber officinale and Alpinia galanga extracts. In this report, we have focused on the evaluation of AHF for bronchodilatory potential. AHF was studied on clonidine induced mast cell degranulation and OVA albumin induced airway inflammation model at the doses of 62.5,125 and 250 mg/kg. AHF at dose of 250 mg/kg showed significant protection of mast cell degranulation (40%) as compared to standard sodium cromoglycate (64%) while at doses of 62.5, 125, 250 mg/kg showed marked inhibition of total cells, eosinophils, neutrophils, lymphocytes, whereas in case of macrophages and monocytes an inhibition was observed at 125, 250 mg/kg along with the inhibition of IgE. The findings revealed that the bronchodilatory activity of AHF may be due to the mast cell stabilizing potential, suppression of IgE, and inhibition of release of inflammatory mediators. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
