Abstract

Aim of This Review : Antitussives, more familiarly known as cough suppressants, are usually taken to suppress dry, irritating and patient-disturbing coughs. This review is an attempt to bring together some of the common medicinal plants traditionally used to manage respiratory disorders other than asthma. The review includes some information on traditional use of the plants as it relates to respiratory disorders, some chemistry and pharmacology in an attempt to ascertain their chemical composition and biological values, and so justify their uses. Study Approach: Information on the above was sourced from published articles and reviews on the subject available from various data bases and journals. Thirty-three medicinal plants drawn from twenty-two plant families were reviewed along with two natural products honey which always serve as vehicle for many plant medicines and bile. Findings: Table 1 gives a list of thirty-three plants used locally as antitussives. The various plant parts utilized in remedies include all the parts of the plant. The biochemistry and medicinal Review Article Adesina et al.; BJPR, 16(3): 1-21, 2017; Article no.BJPR.32974 2 significance of tannins, terpenoids and essential oil components are now better appreciated in the management of respiratory disorders. Conclusion: Herbal antitussives not only suppress coughs, they always attempt to remove the respiratory disorders causing the coughs and thus make patients healthier. The use of medicinal plants remains a universal phenomenon; this review justifies the need for polyherbal formulations for use in the management of respiratory disorders.
呼吸系统疾病中的植物II-抗咳药,综述
本文综述的目的:止咳药,更熟悉的是止咳药,通常用于抑制干咳、刺激性咳嗽和干扰患者的咳嗽。这篇综述试图汇集一些传统上用于治疗哮喘以外的呼吸系统疾病的常见药用植物。这篇综述包括一些关于这些植物的传统用途的信息,因为它与呼吸系统疾病有关,以及一些化学和药理学,试图确定它们的化学成分和生物学价值,从而证明它们的使用是合理的。研究方法:上述信息来源于各种数据库和期刊上发表的关于该主题的文章和评论。本文综述了来自22个植物科的33种药用植物,以及两种天然产物蜂蜜和胆汁,蜂蜜是许多植物药物的载体。发现:表1列出了33种当地用作止咳药的植物。在补救方法中使用的各种植物部分包括植物的所有部分。生物化学与医学综述生物工程学报,16(3):1-21,2017;文章no.BJPR。[32974]单宁、萜类和精油成分在呼吸系统疾病治疗中的重要性现在得到了更好的认识。结论:中药止咳药不仅能抑制咳嗽,还能消除引起咳嗽的呼吸系统疾病,使患者更加健康。药用植物的使用仍然是一种普遍现象;这篇综述证明了在呼吸系统疾病的治疗中使用多草药制剂的必要性。
