Abstract
Asthma is an inflammatory disease of the lungs that causes oxidative stress (Almohawes and
Alruhaimi, 2019). Asthma is characterized by airway inflammation, oxidative stress and
increased Malondialdehyde level. It doesn’t have a cure cannot be treated but it was discovered
that a plamt known as adansonia digitata commonly referred to as African Baobab. The leaves
of this tree serve as a primary source of food and traditional medicine for numerous African
populations, and they are consumed either fresh or in a dried form (Besco et al., 2007). The plant
have effects on asthma due to its renowned for its pharmacological properties including antiinflammatory and anti-oxidant properties. This study aims at providing valuable insights into the
therapeutic potential of adansonia digitata in managing asthma by its modulation of
Malondialdehyde levels and contribute to supporting the use of natural products for management
of asthma.
