A Review of Antiulcer Activity of Some Medicinal Plants
A Review of Antiulcer Activity of Some Medicinal Plants.
Abstract
Peptic ulcer is a gastrointestinal disorder and with increased prevalence. Peptic ulcer is breaking of endothelial lining of stomach and exposing underlying tissues. Peptic ulcer occurs due to high secretion of acid and reduced defensive factors in stomach and duodenum. It is imbalance between aggressive and defensive factors. Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and Helicobacter pylori infection also increases the risk of peptic ulcer. Indiscriminate use of synthetic drugs leads to adverse effects and concomitant use of antibiotics potentiates drug-drug interaction thus search of drugs from natural sources especially herbs is need of hour. several herbal medicines have been evaluated for its antiulcer efficacy using several ulcer inducing models in laboratory animals. Present study aims at review of gastroprotective and ulcer healing potential medicinal herbs and compilation of data. This article is only restricted to antiulcer efficacy of the medicinal plants. This review presents information about the anti-ulcer efficacy of medicinal plants and various antiulcer models used to screen them.
Keywords: Peptic ulcer, Gastric ulcer, Gastroprotective activity, Phyllanthus urinaria, Adiantum lunulatum, Ulcer healing activity
