Abstract

Ethanolic and Aqueous extract of ArisaemaLeschenaultii was evaluated for its Antiulcer activity against naproxen induced ulcer. Different extracts of blume of A. leschenaultii gave dose dependent increase in anti-ulcer activity against naproxen induced ulcer. Ethanolic extract of blume of A. leschenaultii showed better ulcer inhibition (55.8%) as compared to AEAL (36.5%). The present investigation revealed that ArisaemaLeschenaultii exhibited significant antiulcer activity by enhancing antioxidant potential of gastric mucosa thereby reducing mucosal damage.
