Abstract
Objective: To evaluate the Acute toxicity study and Anti-asthmatic activity of Zeal Herbal Granules. Materials & Methods: In the present study, acute toxicity study was carried out as per OECD guideline 423. Anti-asthmatic activity of Zeal Herbal Granules was investigated against compound 48/80-induced mast cell degranulation. Percentage mast cell degranulation was calculated at different concentration level i.e.1, 10, 100 and 1000μg/mL. Results: Zeal Herbal Granules showed significant protection of rat mesenteric mast cells from disruption caused by compound 48/80. Significant dose dependent effect was observed in percentage mast cell degranulation at different dose level of Zeal Herbal Granules in comparison to negative control. 26.83% mast cell degranulation was observed at 100μg/mL dose level of Zeal Herbal Granules. Conclusion: The present study revealed that Zeal Herbal Granules has significant anti-asthmatic activity against compound 48/80-induced mast cell degranulation comparable to that produced by Ketotifen fumarate. There was no lethal and toxic reactions found among the tested animals. Zeal Herbal Granules can be a safe and effective drug for patient with asthmatic complaints.
