Abstract:The present study was focused to evaluate the protective activity of the Wedelia calendulacea (WC) whole plant aqueous extract against aspirin-pylorus ligation, HCl-ethanol and water immersion stress induced ulcers. In the present study aspirin-pylorus ligation induced gastric ulcer was adopted to screen the antisecretory activity of plant extract. WC extract produced 61.76% ulcer inhibition at 400mg/kg body weight, when compared to that of standard (ranitidine, 50mg/kg) which produced 62.6% ulcer inhibition. … Show more
