Background:Herbal products are finding increasing demand in the treatment of Peptic ulcer, on account of their better safety and efficacy.Objectives:To evaluate the anti-ulcer activity of ethanolic extract of seeds of Vitis Vinifera in Wistar albino rats.Methods:The ethanolic extract of Vitis Vinifera was investigated for its anti-ulcer activity in rats against HCl – Ethanol induced ulcer model. The antiulcer activity was assessed by determining and comparing gastric volume, pH, free and total acidity; ulcer number and its inhibition, ulcer severity and ulcer index.Results:A significant antiulcer activity was observed. The grape seed 100mg/kg group showed significant [p < 0.05] reduction in ulcer number 30.00 ± 3.23 as compared to the control. The grape seed 200mg/kg showed significant [p < 0.05] reduction in ulcer number 27.33 ± 2.97, free acidity 20.00 ± 2.26, and gastric lesion18.00 ± 2.96 as compared to the control.Conclusion:This present study indicates that Vitis vinifera seed extract has potential anti ulcer activity in the model tested. Keywords: Vitis vinifera, Anti-ulcer, Ethanol, Free acidity, Total acidity

Background: To evaluate the antiulcer activity of ethanolic leaves extract of Saraca indica against ethanol, pylorus ligature and indomethacin in albino rats. Materials and Methods: Ulcer was produced by ethanol, pylorus ligature and indomethacin in albino rats. Five groups (n=6) of rats were orally pre-treated with carboxymethyl cellulose solution, and ranitidine (80 mg/kg) respectively. In ethanol induced ulcer, the animals were treated with 200 and 400 mg/kg b.w. ethanolic leave extracts of Saraca indica in 0.3% CMC solution, 60 minutes before oral administration of absolute ethanol to produce gastric mucosal injury. In indomethacin induced ulcer, the drug was administered orally at the dose of 30 mg/kg b.w. After 7-9 hours of administration of indomethacin (30 mg/kg); the animals were sacrificed with high doses of anesthesia. In the pylorus ligature method, volume of free acidity, gastric secretion, pH and total acidity were estimated. In all three models, the ulcer index and % protection were estimated. Results: The anti ulcer activity of ethanolic leave extracts of Saraca indica in ethanol, indomethacin and pylorus ligature models is evident from the significant (P<0.001) reduction in ulcer index. In pylorus ligature model, significant (P<0.001) reduction in total acidity gastric volume and increase in pH were observed when compared with the standard drug. Conclusion: Ethanolic leave extracts of Saraca indica were found to be significantly protective against ethanol, indomethacin and pylorus ligature induced gastric ulcers in the experimental albino rats. The result obtained suggest that ethanolic leave extracts of Saraca indica possesses significant anti-ulcer activity.

Albizzia procera belongs to family Fabaceae and has several phytoconstituents like flavonoids, terpenes, alkaloids, saponins etc. The plant is commonly used in traditional medicines. The objective of the present study was to assess the ameliorative effect of A. procera leaves extract against an experimentally induced gastric ulcer in albino rats. The antiulcer, antisecretory and cytoprotective properties of an ethanolic extract prepared from the leaves was evaluated. When given in a 200 mg/kg oral (per. os) dose, the extract produced 74% and 85% protection index in ethanol-induced ulcer model and pylorus ligation model, respectively.  Additionally, the extract also prohibited the formation of haemorrhage and edema, significantly lessened catalase activity (p<0.0001) and the lipid peroxidation level (p<0.0001) in the glandular tissue of Wistar albino rats. Furthermore, the extract also significantly diminished the total acidity(p<0.0001) of the gastric fluid by increasing its pH (p<0.0001). The occupancy of different phytoconstituents in the extract, such as flavonoids and tannins were identified that may be responsible for its gastro-protective activity. All these results provide a basis explaining the antiulcer ability of A. procera being useful in the management of gastric ulcers.

The purpose of the study was to elucidate the antiulcer activity of stem of Saccharum Officinarum (Poaceae) in albino rats against aspirin induced gastric ulcer, ethanol induced gastric ulcer and pylorus ligation induced gastric ulcer models. Groups of rats were fasted overnight, received ranitidine (20 mg/kg) as a standard and plant stem juice extract at dose of 0.75 mL/100 gm and 1.5 mL/100 gm as a treatment against aspirin induced gastric ulcer, ethanol induced gastric ulcer and pylorus ligation induced gastric ulcer. The treatment produced significant protection of ulcer induced by aspirin, ethanol and pylorus ligation induced ulcer. The extract also reduced ulcer index, volume of gastric content, free and total acidity, suggesting that extract possesses significant anti-ulcer activity.

Objective: The present research work was designed to investigate gastro protective potentials of methanol extract of Tephrosia calophylla. Methods: The aerial parts of Tephrosia calophylla were dried under shade, powdered and deffated with petroleum ether and then marc left over was subjected to methanol extraction using soxhlet apparatus. Antiulcer activity of methanol extract was determined against stress induced and aspirin induced ulcers in experimental animal models. The total number of ulcers formed, ulcer index, percentage inhibition, ulcerated area, protected area, pH and Total acidity were parameters in the study. Results: Methanol extract of Tephrosia calophylla have significantly reduced the total number of ulcers formed, ulcer index, ulcerated area and total acidity in therapeutic groups compare to vehicle control and there by significantly increased percentage inhibition of ulcers and protected area which was evident by significant rise in pH of gastric content. The effect of extracts was dose dependent and results were comparable to that of standard drug omeprazole. Conclusion: The results obtained from the present work suggest that the methanol extract of Tephrosia calophylla possess significant anti-ulcer potentials against experimentally induced ulcers in albino rats. Keywords: Tephrosia calophylla, Anti ulcer activity, Ethanol, Aspirin Ulcer index, pH, total acidity, Percentage inhibition and percentage of protected area.

Adiantum lunulatum is a fern found in monsoon season in Western Ghats, which is being used traditionally for many ailments such as bronchitis, cough, erysipelas and bleeding disorders. Aim of the present study was to investigate traditional claim of treating bleeding disorder and ulcer healing property of this plant. In the current study, ethanolic extract of adiantum lunulatum (500mg/kg) was evaluated for its efficacy in treating gastric ulcer in wistar albino rats. Ulcers were induced by different ulcer inducing models such as pylorus ligation induced ulcer, ethanol induced ulcer, cold restrain induced ulcer and aspirin induced ulcer. Omeprazole was used as a standard drug at a dose of 20mg/kg. Adiantum lunulatum showed a significant reduction in gastric ulcer, which was significantly comparable to standard drug omeprazole.

Objective: To quantify the phytochemical constituents, scavenging different free radicals and assess the antiulcer property of aerial plant extracts of Cayratia pedata var. glabra.Methods: Quantitative analysis was performed to confirm and quantify the presence of phenolics, tannin content and total flavonoids in the aerial plant extracts of the study plant. Reducing power assay, 2, 2- diphenyl-1-picryl-hydrazyl (ABTS), ABTS•+ and metal chelating activity were used in this study. To evaluate the anti-ulcerogenic activity of ethanolic extract of C. pedata var. glabra, against indomethacin-induced gastric ulcers in rats.Results: The results of quantification of phytoconstituents showed that the total phenolic and total flavonoid content were maximum in the ethanolic extract. The results of the antioxidant property of C. pedata var. glabra showed that all the extracts possess a different range of free radical scavenging activities, which is in dose-dependent manner. The ethanolic extract of the study plant produced gastroprotective effect in indomethacin-induced rats showed the decreased level of ulcer index, gastric volume, free acidity, total acidity, total protein and increased level of percentage of protection, and pH were calculated from the effective concentrations of plant sample (400 mg/kg) compared with Omeprazole (10 mg/kg).Conclusions: It is concluded that, the C. pedata var. glabra contains strong secondary metabolites; natural source of antioxidants and different extracts of this plant possesses good free radical scavenging activity. This present study indicates that ethanolic extract of C. pedata var. glabra has potential antiulcer activity in this tested model.
