Abstract

The study aims to determine histamine efficacy on hematologic values in experimental animal model, under physiological and pathological conditions after inducing diphenhydramine-formulated nasal nano-gel/nano-emulgel in comparison with conventional nasal spray regime. In this study, we conducted experiment on New Zealand white male rabbits to prove our hypothesis that nasal diphenhydramine nano-gel and nano-emulgel can penetrate the nasal mucosa faster to show drug response and subside histaminic symptoms than market nasal spray (as reference). Blood samples from 48 New Zealand white male rabbits, under both experimental conditions (physiological and pathological) divided into four groups for each (n = 6) were investigated after inducing each dosage form intranasally. Hematologic parameters (WBCs, RBCs, HGB, PLTs, lymphocytes, monocytes, eosinophils, granulocyte counts) were analyzed in whole blood samples, collected at different time intervals. ANOVA and completely randomized design (CRD) were applied for statistical analysis. Histopathologically, nasal tissues of all groups were analyzed to see intramucosal surface changes. Data of descriptive statistics of hematological parameters analyzed at confidence level 95% showed that under physiological condition, hematological parameters of all groups were lying in normal range, whereas under pathological condition, low values of all hematological parameters were observed in all groups due to allergenic condition. The groups B…
