Andrographolide restores healthy airway function in toluene diisocyanate-induced occupational mouse asthma model through upregulation of heam oxygenase-1 and activation of Akt/Nrf-2 dependent pathway

Toluene diisocyanate (TDI) is a major cause of chemical-induced occupational asthma, which contributes about 15% of global asthma burden. Steroid resistance and compounded side effects that are associated with use of corticosteroid in management of asthma necessitate the search for alternative drugs...
