This study was designed to determine the gastroprotective effect of a Mangifera indica leaf decoction (AD), on different experimental models in rodents. The administration of AD up to a dose of 5 g/kg (p.o.) did not produce any signs or symptoms of toxicity in the treated animals, while significantly decreasing the severity of gastric damage induced by several gastroprotective models. Oral pre-...

This research aimed to determine the potential protective effects ofPhaleria macrocarpafruit extracton rat gastric mucosal injury induced by ethanol andto clarify the roles of prostaglandinE2 (PGE2), transforming growth factor1 (TGF) and tumor necrosis factorTNF). Main methods: Seven groups of rats were orally pretreated with Tween20 as vehicle control group; Tween20 as ulcer group; 20 mg/kg of...

BACKGROUND Although it is well known that aspirin causes gastroduodenal mucosal injury and that aspirin-induced gastroduodenal mucosal injury is often asymptomatic, the prevalence and independent factors for gastroduodenal mucosal injury have not been clarified in asymptomatic patients taking low-dose aspirin and gastroprotective agents. AIM To clarify the prevalence and independent factors f...

BACKGROUND Melastoma malabathricum L. (family Melastomaceae; MM) and Muntingia calabura L. (family Elaeocarpaceae; MC) have been separately reported to possess gastroprotective activity. In an attempt to develop a pharmaceutical product with antiulcer potential, the synergistic gastroprotective activity of methanolic extract of a mixture of MM and MC (MMMC) at various ratios was evaluated in ra...

Medicinal plants have been widely studied to identify plant-based anti-gastric ulcer medicines. The mechanism of gastroprotective action is important discover the potential lead compounds for drug development. All relevant articles between 2011 and 2021 focusing on Malaysian were collected analyzed understand underlying pathways. Keywords include peptic ulcer, gastric NSAIDs (Non-Steroidal Anti...

The resin of the tree Araucaria araucana (Araucariaceae) is used by the Mapuche Amerindians in southern Chile and Argentina to treat ulcers and has been shown to display a gastroprotective effect in animal models. A study was undertaken to isolate, identify and assess the gastroprotective effect of the resin constituents and its semisynthetic derivatives as well as to evaluate the cytotoxicity ...
