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...

<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.

Crude extract of <i>P. perlatum</i>(Pp.Cr), comprising appreciable quantities of alkaloids and flavonoids, relaxed spontaneously contracting jejunum preparation, K<sup>+</sup> (80 mM)-induced, and carbachol (1 µM)-induced jejunum contractions in a concentration-dependent manner similar to dicyclomine and dantrolene.
