“…Other compounds usually used in asthma therapy such as beta-adrenergic agonists, methylxanthine phosphodiesterase inhibitors and corticosteroids are not generally considered as 'prophylactic' agents [18,19], Although these compounds contributed greatly to asthma therapy, their side effects are not negligible, while on the other hand, the mode of administration of DSCG is relatively inconvenient. Thereby it seems that an orally active prophylactic antiallergic agent would be of a significant value.…”
