xylocarpus granatum/ulcer

In the present study, the gastroprotective mechanism of Xylocarpus granatum fruit and its active constituents gedunin and photogedunin was investigated. Chloroform fraction (Fr-CHCl(3)) of X. granatum fruit was evaluated against cold restraint (CRU), aspirin (AS), alcohol (AL) and pyloric ligation

Gastric ulcer is a very common gastrointestinal disorder affecting a large number of people worldwide. It arises due to an imbalance between aggressive (acid, pepsin and Helicobacter pylori infection) and protective (mucin secretion, prostaglandin, epidermal growth factors and bicarbonate) factors

Anti-ulcer activities of xyloccensin-E and xyloccensin-I were investigated in various ulcer models in Sprague-Dawley rats. The effects and the mechanism of action of both compounds for anti-secretory and cytoprotective activities were also studied. Both these active molecules improved the depleted
