Asthma cases have increased 400% since 1980, to approximately 20 million. Asthma is characterized by a hyper-response of the trachea and bronchi to various stimuli, which results in a narrowing of the airways in the lung.Mast cells are intimately in releasing chemical mediators that enhance or inhibit the asthmatic attack. Mast cells have receptors for cAMP and cGMP. cAMP inhibits the release of histamine. cAMP is released under the stimulation of the enzyme adenylate cyclase. The receptor that activates this enzyme is the beta receptor. Drugs that are beta receptor agonists enhance cAMP release, and inhibit histamine release which eases the asthamtic attack. The releaive ratios of cAMP and cGMP have a direct consequence on whether an asthma attack will occur.
C. forskholii activates intracellular cAMP that makes it so valuable as a therapeutic component. Forskolin stimulates the enzyme adenylate cyclase to release cAMP. cAMP levels rise which inhibits the release of chemical mediators. This may help to relax bronchial smooth muscle and prevents constriction.
