Phytopharmacological evaluation and anti-asthmatic activity of Ficus religiosa leaves

Abstract

To discuss phytopharmacological potential and anti-asthmatic activity of Ficus religiosa (F. religiosa) (L.). Methods: Fresh leaves of F. religiosa were obtained from Vastrapur pLiagkse t,o A ehsmtaebdliasbha bdr, oanncdh odsrpieads mto mobotdaeiln. pIno wind evriv. oH sitsutadmy,i nthee a anqdu aecoeutsy lecxhtoralicnte o wf eFr.e r eulsiegdio tsoa gleuainveeas p(AroEtFeRct)i vaet daocstievsi toyf o1f5 0 and 300 mg/ kg was administrated to guinea pigs, and the broncho- AEFR was compared with aminophylline at 25 mg/kg.
