Evaluation of antiulcer activity of Boswellia serrata bark extracts using aspirin induced ulcer model in albino rats
Journal Title: Journal of Medical and Allied Sciences - Year 2011, Vol 1, Issue 1
Abstract
The effect of bark extracts of Boswellia serrata (Family Burseraceae) was evaluated in aspirin induced ulceration (200mg/kg) in albino rats. Antiulcer activity was evaluated by measuring ulcer index and percentage of ulcer healing. The petroleum ether (250mg/kg) and aqueous extracts (250mg/kg) of bark of Boswellia serrata plant showed significant antiulcer activity as evidenced by the data obtained. Histopathological findings also confirm the antiulcer activity of Boswellia serrata bark extracts in albino rats.
