Antiulcer and Cytoprotective Action of Wedelia Calendulacea Less
نویسندگان
چکیده
The gastric antiulcer and ulcer healing effect of the ethanolic and aqueous extracts of the dried leaves of Wedelia calendulacea. Less was found to be significant. The effect of the aqueous extract was observed to be more pronounced in comparison with that of the ethanolic extract.

Hepatoprotective effect of coumestans isolated from the leaves of Wedelia calendulacea Less. in paracetamol induced liver damage.
Effect of coumestans isolated form the leaves of W. calendulacea was evaluated in paracetamol induced liver damage. The increased serum enzyme levels (lactate dehydrogenase, alanine and aspartate transaminase and alkaline phophatase) by paracetamol induction were significantly lowered due to coumestans treatment. Results of this study revealed that coumestans of W. calendulacea afforded a signi...
متن کاملOptimization of supercritical fluid extraction and HPLC identification of wedelolactone from Wedelia calendulacea by orthogonal array design
The purpose of this work is to provide a complete study of the influence of operational parameters of the supercritical carbon dioxide assisted extraction (SC CO2E) on yield of wedelolactone from Wedelia calendulacea Less., and to find an optimal combination of factors that maximize the wedelolactone yield. In order to determine the optimal combination of the four factors viz. operating pressur...

OBJECTIVE This study was undertaken to evaluate the neuroprotective activity of Wedelia calendulacea against cerebral ischemia/reperfusion induced oxidative stress in the rats. MATERIALS AND METHODS The global cerebral ischemia was induced in male albino Wistar rats by occluding the bilateral carotid arteries for 30 min followed by 1 h and 4 h reperfusion. At various times of reperfusion, the...
متن کاملHepatoprotective Activity of Wedelia calendulacea L. Against Acute Hepatotoxicity in Rats
The hepatoprotective activity of ethanolic extract of Wedelia calendulacea L. (Family: Asteraceae) 4 was studied against CCl induced, acute hepatotoxicity in rats. Hepatoprotective activity of the ethanolic-leaf extract of W.calendulacea (EEWC) was studied by estimating serum enzyme activities of aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), alkaline phosphatase (ALP), prote...
متن کاملEffects of KW-5805, a new antiulcer agent, on experimental gastric and duodenal ulcers, gastric mucosal lesions by necrotizing agents and gastric acid secretion.
Effects of KW-5805, a new antiulcer agent, on various experimental ulcers, necrotizing agent-induced gastric lesions and gastric acid secretion in rats were compared with those of pirenzepine and cimetidine. KW-5805 showed antiulcer activities against experimental gastric and duodenal ulcers (ED50 = 1.2-10.0 mg/kg, p.o.). KW-5805 effectively inhibited gastric lesions induced by various necrotiz...
