Abstract

ABSTRACT
Objective: The aim was to assess the effect of anti ulcer and anti oxidant activity of methanolic extract of Gardenia Gummifera (MEGG) whole plant in
ulcer induced rats and in-vitro anti oxidants method respectively.
Methods: In the present study, the efficacy of an MEGG was evaluated against aspirin-induced ulcers in rats. G. gummifera at doses of 150 mg/kg and
300 mg/kg was administered orally once daily for 6 days.
Results: Results showed that extract treatments prevented ulcer area and gastric secretion in a dose-dependent manner. Administration of 2000 mg/kg
extract did not show any toxicity in albino mice. In preliminary phytochemical studies identified the presence of flavonoids in the MEGG.
Conclusion: According to the results, it was concluded that the whole plant of G. gummifera has significant antiulcer activity due to the presence of
potent antioxidants like flavonoids.
Keywords: Aspirin, Antiulcer, Hydrogen peroxide, Gardenia gummifera.
