Anti-Stress and anti-Ulcer
(Team: M Dikshit and R Maurya)

Plants extracts and compounds are being evaluated for anti-ulcer activity in various acute gastric ulcer models in rats and duodenal ulcer in guinea pigs. To ascertain the ulcer healing potentials the active compounds have been tested in chronic gastric ulcer models. Additionally, the test compounds are evaluated for the proton pump inhibitory activity to assess the molecular mechanisms.


 
 
Animal models and in vitro screening
 
Primary screening- Cold restrain and alcohol induced ulcers.
If active tested against for pyloric ligation induced and aspirin induced gastric ulcer model
Estimation of free and total acidity, mucin and pepsin content in the gastric fluid.
Proton pump activity in gastric microsomes (in vitro)
Tertiary screening against histamine induced duodenal and chronic gastric ulcers.
For ulcer healing activity - Acetic acid induced ulcers
An acute model of reflux esophagitis in rats is also used. The compounds are been screened for their protective effect against mucosal damage induced due to gastric content reflux into esophagus.
