In-vivo Antiasthmatic Activity of Nava Pippali and Purana Pippali (Piper longum Linn.)
Journal Title: International Journal of Ayurveda and Pharmaceutical Chemistry - Year 2017, Vol 0, Issue 0
Abstract
Ayurveda, the ancient traditional system of medicine mentions various concepts, that needs to be explored and revalidated through scientific parameters for better understanding and thereby extending its scope of utility. Among these, one of the concepts is mentioned in Sharangdhara Samhita which states that the drugs are to be used in Nava (fresh form) only except few drugs like Pippali (Piper longum Linn.) etc. should be used as Purana (old form). So it is important to revalidate the concept through scientific parameters by evaluating the Qualities of Nava Pippali (Fresh form) and Purana Pippali (Old form). Evaluation of a drug ensures the identity of a drug and determines the quality and purity of drug. Hence antiasthmatic activity is chosen on Animal models i.e., In vivo study in which histamine induced bronchospasm is selected in order to evaluate the effect of Nava and Purana Pippali on Bronchial Asthma. Studies showed that Purana Pippali is found to be more effective than Nava Pippali in antiasthmatic activity (Histamine induced bronchospasm) as it showed increased preconvulsion dyspnea time and maximum protection against histamine aerosol exposure.
