In vivo antiasthmatic studies & phytochemical characterization on the stem extracts of Alternanthera sessilis L. using Guinea pigs model

Abstract

The present investigation has been carried out to evaluate the antiasthmatic activity by in vitro and in vivo models in guinea pigs followed by phytochemical characterization using Gas chromatography Mass spectrum analysis of the hydroalcoholic and acetone extracts of the stem extracts of Alternanthera sessilis. In histamine and acetylcholine-induced bronchospasm studies acetone extracts of the plant have significantly increased PCT 10.52 and 11.36 by Tukey’s test (**p
