bjp-8133	Khan, Arif ullah; Khan, Qaiser Jabeen; Gilani, Anwar Hassan	Pharmacological basis for the medicinal use of cardamom in asthma	2011	5	.pdf	application/pdf	2420	121	51	Crude extract of cardamom which tested positive for alkaloids, flavonoids, saponins, sterols and tannins, when tested against carbachol-mediated bronchoconstriction in rats under anesthesia, dose-dependently (10-100 mg/kg) suppressed the carbachol (1 µmol/kg)-evoked increase in the inspiratory pressure. In isolated rabbit trachea tissues, crude extract of cardamom caused relaxation of both carbachol (1 µM) and high K+ (80 mM)-induced contractions, like that caused by verapamil, suggesting its Ca++ channel blockade action.	cache/bjp-8133.pdf	txt/bjp-8133.txt
