Worldwide ~235 million people currently suffer from asthma. We searched the integrative medicine and the ancient cultures in the Middle East, Africa, and China for new anti-asthma treatment. LE25-0712 is an herbal extract (formula under patent). Here, we used it to validate the old knowledge known, to treat acute allergic asthma mice model. We also identify the effect of our novel extract on the expression of AMs-HDAC1 (alveolar macrophages-histone deacetylase1). We had proven in a previous study, deletion of HDAC1 had increased allergic airway inflammation and enhanced Th2 cytokine production in asthma mice model. In asthmatic and COPD patients, PBMC-HDAC level was reduced compared to healthy individual. In this study, we evaluated the effect of LE25-0712 on the expression level of AMs-HDAC1 in treated asthmatic mice (TAM) model compared to asthmatic control (AC) group.
