The Spasmolytic, Bronchodilator, and Vasodilator Activities of <i>Parmotrema perlatum</i> Are Explained by Anti-Muscarinic and Calcium Antagonistic Mechanisms

<i>Parmotremaperlatum</i> is traditionally used in different areas of Pakistan to treat gastrointestinal, respiratory, and vascular diseases. This study evaluates the underlying mechanisms for traditional uses of <i>P. perlatum</i> in diarrhea, asthma, and hypertension. In vi...
