Objective:To explore the therapeutic efficacy of nebulized administration of Zhichuanling injection on allergic bronchial asthma in mice induced by ovalbumin(OVA),and to investigate the safety of high-dose nebulization of Zhichuanling injection. Methods:Animal welfare and experimental procedures followed the regulations of the Ethics Committee of China Pharmaceutical University. The severity of asthma symptoms was assessed by quantification of the latency and frequency of asthma-like behavior in mice. H&E staining was used to investigate histopathological changes in the lung. The total number of white blood cells(WBC),eosinophil(Eos),lymphocyte(Lym)and neutrophils(Neu)in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid were measured by automatic hematology analyzer to evaluate the allergic inflammatory response.Serum levels of interleukin-4(IL-4)and immunoglobulin E(IgE)were quantified using ELISA. The safety of high-dose nebulization of Zhichuanlin injection was evaluated by examining the general behavior and nervous system response of animals. Results:Our data demonstrated that the nebulized inhalation of different concentrations of Zhichuanling injection alleviated the asthma-like behavior of mice,improved the pathology of lung tissue,reduced the number of inflammatory cells in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid and the levels of IL-4 and IgG in the blood. Among the doses tested,the 1:1 dilution of Zhichuanling injection(the clinic dose)displayed the best efficacy that was comparable to the positive control,budesonide.Nebulized inhalation of a high dose(20×clinic dose)Zhichuanling injection did not affect the general behavior,nervous and autonomic nervous system,urine,feces,saliva,body weight and food intake of mice. Conclusion:Considering these data together,nebulized inhalation of Zhichuanling injection may represent an effective and safe drug administration route for bronchial asthma treatment.
