Asthmatic patients are more subjected to continuous oxidative stress. Roosting the
antioxidant defenses of
asthma patient could be beneficial as it may help thwart symptoms of the
lung disease and
asthma. Considering these facts different
plant extracts and phytoconstituents with proven
anti asthmatic property had been subjected to
antioxidant study at various combinations using
Diphenyl Vicryl Hydrazyl radical scavenging method,
Hydrogen Peroxide radical scavenging method,
Nitric oxide radical inhibition method,
ABTS radical scavenging method and Lipid peroxidation assay method.All the selected herbal based constituents and extracts at different combination showed a potent
antioxidant activiy by
Nitric oxide radical inhibition activiy method followed by
ABTS method. The present finding suggests that the selected plant based
anti asthmatic constituents namely Coleus extract (10%
Forskolin), Piper longum extract (20%
Piperine), CurcuminC3Complex (60%
Curcumin), Vasaka (30%
Vasicinone),
Forskolin (95%), Pperine (98%),
Curcumin C3 Complex (98.5%) and
Vasicinone (75%) could be utilised in alternate
anti asthmatic therapy, since they play a vital role in scavenging
Nitric oxide which could prevent the bronchial
inflammation in asthmatic patients.
