ABSTRACT
The human being appears to be affected with more disease than any
other animal species most common disorders such as allergy, cold,
fever, etc. Allergy is a state of hypersensitivity of the immunosystem
against the allergen, which is entered into the body. Various clinical
disorders associated with allergy-like asthma, hay fever, food allergy,
Urticaria, delayed hypersensitivity. The allergic disorder can be treated
by three ways of control of the environment, drug therapy, and Novel
strategies. Treatment of allergic disorders from the traditional era
people used herbal drug therapy and in the modern era, allopathic
treatment most commonly used. Allopathic drug therapy having various side effects and
researchers work on overcoming the side effect of the allopathic drug. Novel strategies are
used in the treatment of allergy-like peptide vaccines and specific allergen immunotherapy
.after reviewed we concluded that from the traditional era to modern era, treatment of allergy
is better than better for previous treatment and further study continue for the develop a stable
and effective technique for the treatment of allergy.
KEYWORDS: Histamines, Herbal drug, Allopathic drug, Novel strategies, etc.
INTRODUCTION
Phytomedicines has gained increasing popularity due to the lesser side effect and improve
conventional treatment. Allergic rhinitis has two phases Early and late phase. It also is known
as the initial phase, this type of response is seen within minutes after allergen exposure. It is
also known as quick response phase. The late-phase response starts 4 to 8 hrs after allergenic
exposure.

Figure No.1: Early phase and late phase.
The herbal drug has a wide range of therapeutic benefits for treating allergic conditions.
Generally, corticosteroids and antihistamine are used in the treatment of allergy. Herbal drug
shows anti-allergic properties which are present in plants; they contain the flavonoids,
Triterpenes, alkaloids, and xanthenes. Herbal medicine shows the therapeutical response by
Specific and non-specific mechanisms. It contains the various bioactive compounds having
specific action. Researcher study on the in-vivo and in-vitro model.to investigates the anti-
allergic properties of herbal medicines. Phytomedicines can act in acute and chronic
conditions.
Pathophysiology
When the allergens enter into the body. The defense mechanism of the body is activated and
captures the allergen by producing IgE-antibodies. Block the release of histamine. Immediate
hypersensitivity response is mainly mediated by mast cells and basophils. In the early phase
of allergic rhinitis occurs after a few minutes of degranulation and production of other
mediators activated by allergens and late-phase response starts at the 4-8 hour after exposure
of allergens.
Mechanisms of Anti-allergic(Anti-histaminic) Drug
When the drug administered it blocks the release of histamines and stabilizes the mast cell
and other mediators responsible for allergy and inflammations. Few drugs block the COX1
and COX2 receptors along with prostaglandin synthesis and Archidinic acid pathways (inhibit
Leukotrienes).

Clinical disorders associated with the allergy
Figure No.2: Clinical disorders associated with the Allergy.
There are four general principles for clinical management of allergy
(Willsie et al., 2002)
1) Avoid allergens and triggering factors.
2) Evaluation of allergy vaccine therapy.
3) Use of appropriate therapy.
4) Patient education and follow up guidelines.
Global condition of Allergic Disorder
Figure No.3: Classification based on % drug/therapy used in Treatment of Allergic
Disorder.
1) Globally more than 6000 millions peoples suffering from an allergic disorder like rhinitis.
Allergic rhinitis and its impact on asthma guidelines, second-generation antihistaminic is
the first choice to recommend in both children and adults. (Kuna et al.,2016) Due to it
www.wjpps.com Vol 9, Issue 9, 2020.
1364
Shende et al. World Journal of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences
observed that Anti-histaminic have a 40.4% share in the total market of allergic rhinitis,
then the second-largest used drug is a corticosteroid and fallowed by Decongestant and
other options of treatment. In England, 65% of patients who suffer from allergy. They
used as herbal therapy as Complimentary alternative medicine. In general, literature
observed that 25-50% population and up to 70% of children herbal therapy is preferred.
(Sayin et al.,2013) The global market of allergic rhinitis, based on the number of patients
is found in that region. It divided into America (1st largest), Europe (2
nd larger), Asia-
Pacific, and Middle East & Africa.
2) American dominates the global market of allergic rhinitis, In America increase the cases
of allergic rhinitis cases of allergic disorders, the American Academy of allergy asthma
and immunology estimated that more than 50 million Americans suffer from the allergic
disease annually this represents the 20% of USA population. (Mullol et al.,2008)
3) European region holds the second-larger market, allergic rhinitis patient compare to the
globally approximately 25% patient in Europe suffer from allergic rhinitis. (Kuna et
al.,2016)
4) Asia- Pacific regions, Most of the developing countries like China and India, Maximum
cases due to tobacco, smoke, and other pollutants.
Drug affecting the respiratory system
(Davis et al., 1980)
Name of Drug Therapeutic action
Cromoglycate Anti-allergic activity
Doxantrazole Anti-allergic activity
Pyrimido[4,5-b]quinoline Anti-allergic activity
Phenylenedioxamic acid Anti-allergic activity
Diphenhydramine Hydrochloride Antihistaminic

Role of vitamins in allergic disorder
A) Vitamin D
Vitamin D is regulating the immunosystem and various diseases are linked with vitamin D
level in blood. Vitamin D and endocrine systems also associate with Allergic disorders like
rhinitis, Asthma, Atopic-dermatic. Vitamin D acts by binding its receptor site which is
www.wjpps.com Vol 9, Issue 9, 2020.
1365
Shende et al. World Journal of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences
present in various tissues, It is induced the cellular response by triggering cytokines activity.
(Tian et al., 2017).
Mechanism of Action
(By increasing WBC and triggered the function of cytokines)
B) Vitamin C
Vitamin C is also known as ascorbate. Vitamin C has reduced allergic conditions such as
respiratory and cutaneous allergy. It is a powerful antioxidant, vitamin c boost the immune
system and reduced free radicals in the body. (Claudia et al., 2018).
Vitamin C Increases the level of epinephrine (secreted from the adrenal medulla) level in
blood and vitamin c act as a potent antidote of allergic disorders. Vitamin C most commonly
used in skin allergy and some clinical trials already perform by the iv route to check the
inflammatory response of vitamin c.
Mechanism of action
(It responsible for the destruction of histamine structure)
www.wjpps.com Vol 9, Issue 9, 2020.
1366
Shende et al. World Journal of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences
Treatment of allergic rhinitis is done in three ways: (Bousquet et al., 2008)
1) Control of the environment
2) Drug therapy (Herbal and allopathic)
3) Novel strategies (Peptide vaccine and Allergen-specific immunotherapy).
Control of the environment
An allergic disorder like hay fever and other allergies .which is caused by pollens, dust, and
other pollutants. We can use to remove allergen by HEPA- filter and purification efficacy is
99.95%.
Proper sunlight is required to kill the virus-like rhinovirus which is responsible for cold and
other symptoms of allergy because our body produced vitamin d in the presence of sunlight
and vitamin d is important to regulate the immune system. Few peoples are sensitive to
change in the environment in that case dehumidifier and the air conditioner is used because it
controls the change in temperature.
Plants provide the fresh oxygenated air to the living species and due to deforestation level of
oxygen are reduced and pollutant level is increased. Therefore we need to purify the air. Air
purifier mask is used to remove the pollutant from the air, Air purifier mask contain Two
layers of activated carbon and it is enhanced the purification process. The best air purifier
mask is N99. Which is 99.5% efficacy and purification power.N95 is most commonly used
for purifying the oil pollutants present in the environment.
Herbal Drug Used in allergic disorders
1) Curcuma longa: Curcuma longa is traditional remedies and Curcumin is the active
ingredient of Curcuma longa. Curcuma longa has various pharmacological activities such
as anti-inflammatory activity, anti-allergic activity. In 2018, the Researcher is studied that
Curcumin suppressed compound 48/80. Induced rat peritoneal mast cell degranulation
and release of histamine. Curcumin can inhibit non-specific and mast cell-dependent
allergic reactions. (Yun et al., 2010)The primary obstacle to utilizing Curcumin
therapeutically has been its limited systemic bioavailability but the researcher is involved
in try to increase bioavailability (Louay et al., 2014). Marketed available Curcumin gives
along with black pepper to enhance the bioavailability.

15) Bacopa Monieri: Bacopa monieri contains Bacoside, alkaloid, Flavanoids, and
anthraquinone .these are the phytoconstituents that are responsible for therapeutic
activity. It observed that the Ethanolic extract of Bacopa monieri leaves shows mast cell
stabilizing activity. (Samiulla et al., 2001).
16) Neem: Neem (Azadirachta indica) contains Nimbin, nimbinine, nimbandiol, and
quercetin. Ethanolic leaves of Neem show mast cell stabilizing activity (Acharya et al.,
2003) as well as antifungal and antibacterial activity.
Allopathic medicine used in allergic disorders
A) Antihistamines: Antihistamine has prevented the release of histamine from the mast cell.
The first-generation antihistamine is reduced the itching, sneezing, rhinorrhea, and also
causes sedation. Examples: Diphenhydramine, Hydroxyzine, and brompheniramine and
second-generation histamine used to reduce the side effect like sedation examples:
Loratadine, Cetirizine.
Mechanism of action
(Generally H1 receptors)

B) Decongestants: These are the three type’s oral, topical, and nasal decongestants. Oral
decongestant like Pseudoephedrine is a few side effects like headache, hypertension but it is
contraindicated in cardiovascular disorders. Topical decongestants are used for 4 to 5 days.
Because of topical decongestants having a limitation is rebound the worsening and hyperemia
of symptoms with chronic use. (Kushnir et al., 2011).
Mechanism of action
C) Corticosteroids: Corticosteroids are used for the predominant nasal obstruction.
Beclomethasone, fluticasone propionate is the most commonly used corticosteroids in nasal
obstruction.
D) Mast cell stabilizers: Cromyline sodium (Cromoglycate) is effective in allergic rhinitis
by preventing the release of histamine from mast cells. (Davis et al., 1980).
Mechanism of action
(Indirectly increase the level of Cyclic AMP levels)

Diagnostic test for Allergy
Diagnostics test used to identify the allergy. Skin allergy identifies by using skin test (scratch
test), skin injection test, and patch test. For the identification of allergen done by the blood
test (by measures the IgE antibodies). Challenge test performed under the supervision of
allergist, Challenge test done for the food and medicine. (Ansotgui et al., 2020).
www.wjpps.com Vol 9, Issue 9, 2020.

Shende et al. World Journal of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences
Sr.No Diagnostic test for allergy
1 Diagnostic test for Skin allergy Procedure
Scratch test
Clean the test site by alcohol then, Needle
penetrates the skin surface. Draw the mark on
the skin. After 15 minutes observe the skin for
the sign of allergic reaction like red spot(like
mosquito bites) measure the size of spot .after
record the result your skin clean by alcohol to
remove marks
Skin Injection test
( Intradermal test)
Inject the small amount of allergen into the
skin on your arm. Injection site examined after
15 min for signs of an allergic reaction.
Note: Physicians generally inject
penicillin/insect venom as an allergen.
Patch test
Allergen apply to the patch, this patch placed
on the skin (Arm/Back) due to causes contact
dermatitis after 48 hours to wear the patch,
Irritation on the skin at the patch indicated an
allergy
2 Blood test The blood test measures the IgE antibodies to
certain allergen into the blood.
3 Challenge test
This test performs under the supervision of an
allergist. You can eat /breathe a small amount
of allergen. Challenged test perform for check
food and medicine allergy.
Novel strategies for allergic disorder
1) Peptide vaccine (containing T cell epitopes)
The peptide vaccines are novel strategies by the usage of short peptide fragments in the
treatment of allergy .it is a highly targeted immunosystem. The genuine concept of peptide-
induced T-Cell from in vitro studies various clinical trials already done and it observed that T
–cell Reactive short allergen peptide and other peptides are overlapped. When It intra-dermal
administered into the skin immunological mechanism concept already resolved but specific
anergy. Peptide vaccines are used in the food allergy and also used in allergy caused by
pollens. Vaccines are developed for the treatment of chronic disease and most of the
condition protein peptide vaccine is preferred in infections, cancer treatment, and serious
allergic disorders. (Hehir et al., 2016).

Figure No.4: Peptide vaccine (containing T cell epitopes).
2) Allergen-specific immunotherapy
Allergen-specific immunotherapy is used as a preventive allergy vaccination (for a specific
allergen, food as well as venom allergen).it is based on DNA Technology and peptides.DNA
technology is one of the tools to make allergen-specific immunotherapy. A specific gene is
responsible for a specific activity. We can change the code of gene, which is responsible for
allergy. Specific Recombinant and synthetic allergy vaccination are more safe, effective, and
convenient. (Valenta et al., 2016).

Shende et al. World Journal of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences
Future Study
Allopathic medicine shows quick relief and various side effects and not completely cure the
disease. In that condition, we can use the herbal drug and allopathic drugs in combination.
Herbal drugs contain more than one constituents .they overcome the side effect of the
allopathic drug, such combination we can use in Acute and chronic disorders. Peptide
vaccine has the potential to treat the food allergy in the future, strict avoidance of the
allergen and the new approach for treat food allergy and management of food allergy.
Specific immunotherapy is one of the best approaches for the treatment of allergic disorders
as well as DNA Technology is used to correct the genetic code of gene which is responsible
for allergic conditions. Various vitamins are used in the treatment of allergy, further research
carried out for the development of new treatment strategies.
CONCLUSION
After reviewed, we concluded that from the traditional era to the modern era allergic
treatment is better that better for previous treatment, and further study is required to develop a
new, stable and effective technique for the treatment of allergy.
