Keywords:
The cause of ulceration in patients is mainly due to hyper secretion of gastric juice and also due to hyper secretion of pepsin. In traditional system of medicine a number of herbal preparations have been used for the treatment of peptic ulcers. The marketed poly-herbal formulation and many synthetic drugs has been used for the treatment of gastric-ulcer diseases. In view of this, in present study we have to evaluate the anti-ulcer activity of Terminalia chebula. Study wascarried out, on pyloric ligation induced ulcers in rats pretreated with the doses of 1ml/kgAbsolute ethanol, Extracts and fraction of Terminalia chebula, Omeprazole: 20 mg/kg body wt.
After 4 hour in pyloric ligation method induced method rat was sacrificed and stomach wasremoved for observation of various biochemical and histo-pathological parameters such as pH ofgastric content, free acidity, total acidity and ulcer index were determined. The results ofpharmacological activity led to the conclusion that the Alcoholic extract and Ethyl acetatefraction of alcoholic extract exhibited activity that is more significant. Ethanol extract and its Article History:
Ethyl acetate fraction significantly raised the pH of gastric content and thus reducing the level of acidity in the stomach. It lowered the free and total acidity and ulcer index as compared to control group. The antigastric-ulcer activity may be due to Gallic acid as the fraction contains Introduction
effects and limitations Herbal medicine deals with plants The acid-peptic diseases are those disorders in which and plant extracts in treating diseases. These are gastric acid and pepsin are necessary, but usually not considered safer because of the natural ingredients with sufficient, pathogenic factors. While inherently caustic, no side effects. Gastric ulcer, one of the most widespread, acid and pepsin in the stomach normally do not produce is believed to be due to an imbalance between aggressive damage or symptoms because of intrinsic defense and protective factors.2 The gastric mucosa is mechanisms. Barriers to the reflux of gastric contents into continuously exposed to potentially injurious agents such the esophagus comprise the primary esophageal defense.
as acid, pepsin, bile acids, food ingredients, bacterial If these protective barriers fail and reflux occurs, products (Helico bacter pylori) and drugs.3 dyspepsia and/or erosive esophagitis may result. 1 Ulcers These agents have been implicated in the pathogenesis of are sores on the lining of the digestive tract which consists gastric ulcer, including enhanced gastric acid and pepsin of the esophagus, stomach, duodenum and intestines. Most secretion, inhibition of prostaglandin synthesis and cell ulcers are located in the duodenum and they are called proliferation growth, diminished gastric blood flow and duodenal ulcers. Ulcers located in the stomach are called gastric ulcers. Ulcers in the esophagus are called Terminalia chebula (Family: Combretaceae) was one of the traditional medicine used in many folk claims and it is Stomach ulcer (peptic ulcer) is a breaking in the tissue called as “King of medicine”. It is an middle-sized tree lining of the stomach. Most are caused by infection with leaves are ovate, or elliptic, flowers are yellowish white, the Helicobacter pylori bacterium and not by stress or fruits are yellowish brown in colour distributed poor diet. Symptoms may include abdominal pain just throughout in India.5 The plant has extensively used in below the ribcage, indigestion, nausea, loss of appetite, ayurveda and sidda for Constipation, diarrhea, ulcers, vomiting, weight loss, blood in the vomit or bowel motions gastroenteritis, asthma, cough, dyspnea, dyspepsia, and symptoms of anaemia, such as light-headedness. The hemorrhoids, candidiasis, parasites, malabsorption existing treatment options include antibiotics and acid- syndrome, hepatomegaly, vesicular and renal calculi, urinary discharges, tumors, skin diseases, leprosy, Although a number of antiulcer drugs such as H antagonists, proton pump inhibitors and cytoprotectants neuropathy, paralysis, memory loss, epilepsy, depression, are available for ulceration all these drugs have side diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, anorexia, wounds.

A volume of 2ml diluted gastric juice was with petroleum ether (60-80C), benzene, ethyl acetate, titrated with 0.1N Sodium hydroxide run from a chloroform, ethanol and water by soxhlet extraction microburette using 3-4 drops of Topfer's reagent as process. During the extraction, the test was performed for indicator until canary yellow colour was observed. Volume the completion of the process. The completion of the of NaOH required was noted. This corresponds to free extraction was confirmed by evaporating a few drops of acidity. Further 2-3 drops of phenolphthalein was added the extract on the watch glass and ensuring that no and titrated with NaOH until pink colour was restored.

Free acidity and total acidity is was dried in hot air oven below 40C before being expressed in terms of ml of 0.1N HCl per 100 gms of extracted with the next solvent. The solvent was gastric contents. This is the same as mEq/lit. To obtain recovered by distillation, and the last traces of solvent this figure multiply the burette reading obtained from were removed under vacuum. The extract obtained with titration by 10 (Table 2 and 3). The total acidity is each solvent was weighed to a constant weight and expressed as m Eq/L by the following formula: percentage on w/w basis was calculated.
