Diseases caused by infections can spread from person to person. These infections can last a short time (acute) or a long time (chronic). </em><em>Asthma, a multifactorial respiratory condition, particularly prevalent among pediatric populations, has prompted interest in alternative treatments with fewer side effects. Numerous medicinal plants have been traditionally employed for asthma management, including&nbsp;Glycyrrhiza glabra, Adhatoda vasica, Albizzia lebbeck, Ephedra sinica, and others, each containing bioactive compounds such as glycyrrhizin, vasicine, ephedrine, and flavonoids. Despite their widespread use, the pharmacological mechanisms underlying their therapeutic effects remain insufficiently understood. This highlights the urgent need for rigorous scientific validation through preclinical and clinical studies to ensure efficacy and safety, and to integrate these herbal remedies into evidence-based modern medicine.</em></p> <p><em>A comprehensive pharmacognostic and phytochemical evaluation of&nbsp;Pistacia integerrima leaf galls. Key morphological traits included green coloration, short petioles, and a slightly bitter taste. Microscopic analysis revealed features such as simple trichomes, vascular bundles, stomata, and calcium oxalate crystals. Phytochemical screening confirmed the presence of various bioactive compounds, including alkaloids, flavonoids, tannins, saponins, and sterols. Methanol extraction yielded the highest extractive value (12.8% w/w), and TLC fingerprinting showed multiple distinct spots. The findings establish a standard reference for the authentication and quality control of Pistacia integerrima. Additionally, the methanolic extract demonstrated significant bronchodilatory activity, supporting its traditional use in treating asthma.</em></p> Anjali Thakur, Ankush Dhiman, Anjali Sharma, Nutan Sharma Copyright (c) 2025 Research & Review: Drugs and Drugs Development (e-ISSN: 2582-5720) https://matjournals.net/pharmacy/index.php/RRDDD/article/view/216 Tue, 22 Jul 2025 00:00:00 +0000
