Peptic ulcer is one of the most prevalent gastrointestinal disorder, commonly occurs in developed countries. The present work was carried out to evaluate antiulcer effect of Ipomoea batatas (L) dietary tuberous roots. The Ethanolic extract of Ipomoea batatas (EEIB) was prepared by dynamic maceration for 7 days at room temperature using 70% ethanol (V/V). The antiulcer activity was evaluated...

The objective of present study is to evaluate the antiulcer activity of ethanolic extract of flower of Azadirachta indica. The cause of ulceration in patients is mainly due to hyper secretion of gastric acid and pepsin. Plant extracts and polyherbal formulations are some of the most attractive sources of new drugs and have been shown to produce promising results in the treatment of gastric ulce...

Objectives: Aim of the present work was to investigate the anti-inflammatory, analgesic and antiulcer effects of red seaweed Porphyra vietnamensis (P. vietnamenis). Materials and Methods: Aqueous (POR) and alcoholic (PE) fractions were successfully isolated from P. vietnamenis. Further biological investigations were performed using a classic test of paw edema induced by carrageenan, writhing in...

background & aim: homalium letestui pellegr (flacourtiaceae) used traditionally by the ibibios of southern nigeria to treat stomach ulcer, malaria and other inflammatory diseases was evaluated for antiulcer properties.  experimental: the effects of ethanol stem extract of h. letestui (200 – 600 mg/kg) and fractions (aqueous and dichloromethane, 400 mg/kg) on experimentally induced ulcer wer...

Helicobacter pylori infection, excessive consumption of alcohol and the prolonged use of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDS) are the major factors that cause peptic ulcer. Previous studies from our lab revealed the potency of the ethanol extract of the plant, Cardiospermum halicacabum Linn. against ethanol induced gastric ulcerogenesis in rats. The present study intended to compare th...

The anti-ulcer activity of Methanolic extract Myrica nagi (Myricaceae) fruit MEMN was investigated in pylorus ligation and methanol-induced ulcer models Wistar rats. In both models, the common parameter determined index at doses 200,400 mg/kg p.o produced significant inhibition gastric lesions induced by Aspirin-induced ulcers & ligation-induced ulcers. (200, 400 mg/kg) showed a (P < 0.0...
