  • Title: Gastric antiulcer activity of UL-409 in rats.
    Author: Kulkarni SK, Goel RK.
    Journal: Indian J Exp Biol; 1996 Jul; 34(7):683-8. PubMed ID: 8979506.
    Abstract:
    Effect of UL-409, a multiconstituent herbal preparation was evaluated on different models of gastric ulcers in rats. In doses 25, 50 and 100 mg/kg. p.o. it significantly reduced the gastric secretory volume and ulcer index in pylorus ligated rats, and showed significant mucoprotective effect at 100 mg/kg dose on both acute and chronic treatment. UL-409(50 and 100 mg/kg doses) prevented immobilization induced gastric ulceration and showed significant mucosal protection. In forced swimming induced ulcers, UL-4093(50 and 100 mg/kg) completely abolished the ulcerogenesis and strengthened the mucosal barrier. It also protected the indomethacin-induced gastric ulcers and significantly increased the mucosal content. Cimetidine (10 mg/kg) and diazepam (20 mg/kg) were used for comparison. The results indicate that UL-409 has anti-ulcerogenic effects due to its mucoprotective effect. The preparation can be used alone or in combination with other ulcer healing agents.
