In a preliminary screening of plant extracts for the antigastritic and anti- Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) actions in rats, the ethanol extract of Amomi Semen (AS) showed positive activity in HCl Ethanol-induced gastric lesions and H. pylori. Among the systematic fractions of hexane, chloroform, butanol and water, the most potent butanol fraction significantly reduced HCl, Ethanol-induced gastric lesions at the oral dose of 350 mg/kg. Also butanol fraction has an inhibitory effect on the growth of H. pylori $(MIC=1.43\;{\mu}g/mL)$. In pylorus ligated rats, butanol fraction showed decrease in the volume of gastric secretion and acid output, of which effects were stronger in other fractions. We isolated 6 subfractions by column chromatography. The protective effects of 6 subfractions of Amomi Semen were also significant in the HCl, Ethanol induced gastric lesion model. These results might suggest that they had inhibitory action in gastric lesion through inhibition of gastric acid secretion. Butanol fraction of AS can be applied as treatment of H. pylori. Butano fractions and ethanol extract of AS was carried out or the development of a new gastroprotective supplementary product.

In a preliminary screening of plant extracts for the antigastritic and antiulcer actions in rats, the methanol extracts of Taheebo showed positive activity in HCI . ethanol-induced gastric lesion. Among the systematic fractions of hexane, chloroform, butanol and water, the most potent $H_2O$ fraction reduced significantly HCI . ethanol-induced gastric lesion at the oral dose of 300 mg/kg. In pylorus ligated rats chloroform and butanol fraction showed decreases in the volume of gastric secretion and acid output of which effects were stronger in chloroform fraction. Further assays with hexane butanol and $H_2O$ fraction disclosed that it significantly suppressed the aspirin-induced ulcer. The butanol fraction reduced significantly acetic acid induced ulcer at the dose of 400 mg/kg. The butanol and $H_2O$ fraction reduced the malondialdehyde level in HCI . ethanol-induced gastric lesion. In pylorus ligated rats, chloroform and butanol fraction reduced the malondialdehyde level and in aspirin-induced ulcer, chloroform fraction reduced that levle. These results might suggest that the butanol and $H_2O$ fraction of Taheebo had inhibitory action in gastric lesion and ulceration through inhibition of gastric acid secretion and the decrease malondialdehyde level.

A novel gastric ulcer healing formulation, a mixture of Dioscoreae Rhizoma, Halloysitum Rubrum and Ostreae Testa (Dihaos), was examined for gastric ulcer healing effects. The effect of Dihaos was assessed in various gastric ulcer models in rats. Oral administration of Dihaos significantly reduced HCl-ethanol-induced gastric ulcers. Dihaos also significantly reduced gastric and duodenal ulcers induced by cysteamine. Ostreae Testa decreased secretion of gastric juice and increased the pH of gastric juice. Furthermore, the extracts of Dioscoreae Rhizoma affected the cell proliferation of MKN 74 cells. These results suggest that the healing effect of Dihaos on gastrohemorrhagic lesions results from its protective effect against acid secretion and proliferation of mucosal cells in induced gastric ulcers in rats.

This study examined the inhibitory effects of 4-guanidinobutyric acid (4GBA), an alkaloid, against gastric lesions by assessing the inhibition of Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) and gastric cancer cells. Acute and chronic gastritis were also observed using HCl/ethanol (EtOH) and indomethacin-induced gastric lesion models, respectively. 4GBA inhibited the growth of H. pylori in a dose dependent manner, and showed acid-neutralizing capacity. In the pylorus ligated rats, 4GBA decreased the volume of gastric secretion and gastric acid output slightly, and increased the pH. 4GBA at a dose of 100 mg/kg reduced the size of HCl/EtOH-induced gastric lesions (70.8%) and indomethacin-induced gastric lesions (38.8%). The antigastritic action of 4GBA might be associated with the acid-neutralizing capacity, anti-H. pylori action, and decreased volume of gastric secretion. These results suggest that 4GBA might be useful in the treatment and/or protection of gastritis.

This study was aimed to evaluate the effects of quercetin and desferrioxamine on the development of the reflux esophagitis induced surgically, on gastric secretion and on lipid peroxidation which is a marker of oxidative stress. Omeprazole was used as a positive control drug. Omeprazole significantly and dose-dependently prevented the development of reflux esophagitis, but quercetin or desferrioxamine prevented only at high dose. Omeprazole significantly and dose-dependently inhibited the gastric acid secretion (gastric volume, pH and acid output), but quercetin or desferrioxamine did not inhibit. Malonyldialdehyde content, the end product of lipid peroxidation, increased significantly after the induction of reflux esophagitis. Omeprazole prevented lipid peroxidation. Quercetin and desferrioxamine inhibited the lipid peroxidation independent of their actions on gastric secretion. This result indicates that omeprazole confirmed preventing effect of rat reflux esophagitis, but quercetin and desferrioxamine inhibited esophagitis by reduction of lipid peroxidation irrespective of gastric acid secretion.

Propolis, a natural resinous compound collected from honey bees, contains many biochemical constituents(wax, flavonoids, phenolic compounds, etc.) and has been used in traditional medicines as early as 300 B.C. It was been demonstrated that ethanol, acetylsalicylic acid, ischemia reperfusion, non-steroidal antiin-flammatory drugs and stress induce gastric lesions by promoting the generation of reactive oxygen metabolites. Therefore, some drugs that are capable of scavenging or inhibiting the generation of reactive oxygen radicals might be expected to prevent the gastric mucosal injury. The aim of this study was 1) to examine the antiulcer effect of propolis, 2) to investigate the mechanism of action by determining gastric acid secretion, lipid per-oxidation, mucus content and proton pump ($H^+$/$K^+$-ATPase) activity on gastric mucus in varios experimental models, and finally, 3) to isolate and identify the pure compounds that exert antiulcer activity. Step 2-1 and 2-3 sub-sub fraction shoed a significant reduction of severity of gastirc damage at the dose of 25 mg/kg in various experimental models. We isolated 4 sub-sub-sub fractions by flash column chromatography of Step 2-1 sub-sub fraction and one sub-sub-sub fraction by recrystalization of Step 2-3 sub-sub fraction. The protective effects of propolis sub-sub-sub fraction manifested sifnificant effects in HCl-ethanol induced gastric erosion model and aspirin induced gastric ulcer model. These results showed that the gastric mucosal protective effect of propolis might result from the increase of mucus secretion, free radical scavenging effect as well as the reduction of acid secretion in accordance with the reduction of $H^+$/$K^+$-ATPase activitv. Three compounds were isolated and identified from sub-sub fraction of propolis which showed antiulcer effects. Subsequently, these compounds were identified as a flavonoid, namely, 2-acetoxy-5,7,-dihydroxy-flavanone, galangin and chrysin.

The following study looked at the effects of Hyangsayukgunjatang and Hyangsayukgunjatang-ga-kyenegum, moryobun on gastric ulcers in rats. In the 1st experiment, ulcers were induced by method of shay's pylorus-ligated in rats. Subjects were administered 2 kinds of medicine, Hyangsayukgunjatang and Hyangsayukgunjatang-ga-kyenegum, moryobun, which were taken orally. The quantity of gastric juice secretion, total acidity of gastric juice, HCI secretion and serumgastrin content were measured and tissues of gastric mucosa epithelium were observed. 1. The quantity of gastric juice secretion in Hyangsayukgunjatang-treated and Hyangsayukgunjatang-ga-kyenegum, moryobun-treated groups showed significant decrease incomparision with the control group. 2. In relation to total acidity of gastric juice, only Hyangsayukgunjatang -treated groupshowed significant decrease in comparison with the control group. 3. HCI secretion of Hyangsayukgunjatang-treated and Hyangsayukgunjatang-ga-kyenegum, moryobun-treated groups showed significant decrease in comparision with the control group. 4. Content of serum gastrin, which were present in Hyangsayukgunjatang -treated and Hyangsayukgunjatang-ga-kyenegum, moryobun- treated groups showed significant decrease in comparision with the control group. 5. The degree of ulcer occurrence & parietal cell numbers and chief cell numbers of Hyangsayukgunjatang-treated and Hyangsayukgunjatang-ga-kyenegum, moryobun-treatedgroups, which were observed by macrographic & histologic method showed signicant decreasein comparison with the control group. Hyangsayukguniatang-treated group prooved to be increasingly effective. From above the experiment results it can be concluded that Hyangsayukgunjatang will be more clinical effective on curing gastric ulcers induced by method of Shay's pylorus-ligated rather than that of Hyangsayukgunjatang-ga-kyenegum, moryobun.

This study was undertaken to investigate the effect of cingulate cortical ablation upon gastric secretion and its components in rats. 23 male rats were divided into the cingulate(N=9) and the operated control(N= 14) groups. Cingulate cortex was ablated through a slit-shaped opening(1 mm in width, 5 mm in length) which was made symmetrically on both sides of, and parallel to, the sagittal suture by removing a bone flap from frontal bone on each side. In the operated control group, the surgical procedure was ended by the removal of the bone flap. Under light ether anesthesia, experimental animals were placed in a restraining jacket of fine mesh wire and gastric juice was collected for 5 hours via a canula which had been inserted through the anterior abdominal wall into the antral portion of the lumen of the stomach. Volume of the gastric juice was measured, and total acid output and free acid output were titrated with 0.04 N NaOH solution by using phenolphthalein and Topfer's reagent at indicator, and chloride ion output was estimated by means of chloridometer. Results obtained were that volume, total acid output, free acid output and chloride ion output of the gastric juice were higher significantly in the cingulate group than in the operated control group. It is inferred from the above results that the cingulate cortex exerts a fascilitatory influence upon gastric secretion and acid output in rats.

This study was designed to determine the effect of newly synthesized antiulcer agent, 5-pyrrolyl-6-halo-2-(pyridyl-2-methylthio)benzimidazole derivatives (IY-81233), on various experimental ulcers and on the secretion of prostaglandin $E_2(PGE_2)$ into the gastric lumen of rat. IY-81233 was previously reported to have a strong inhibitory effect on $H^+/K^$-ATPase and on gastric acid secretion in rats. Oral administration of IY-81233 at concentrations of 0.2, 2.0, and 20 mg/kg inhibited gastric lesions and duodenal ulcer induced by indomethacin, HCI-ethanol, water-immersion stress, cysteamine, and acetic acid in a dose dependent manner. Their IC$IC_{50}$ values were 3.4, 1.4, 0.8, 1.3, and 1.2 mg/kg, respectively. These results indicate that IY-81233 is a potent antiulcer agent although it is slightly less potent than omeprazole in healing of gastritis and ulcers. The secretion of $PGE_2$ into gastric lumen was also investigated in relation to the cytoprotective effect by IY-81233 in rats. The $PGE_2$ level was not changed significantly by an oral administration of IY-81233, suggesting that IY-81233 has little effect on the gastric protection. Therefore, it can be concluded that IY-81233 exerts prominent antiulcer activity by suppressing gastric acid secretion via an inhibition of a proton pump and not by protecting the gastrointestinal mucosa against various ulcerative stimuli.

The bark of Ulmus davidiana var. japonica(Ulmaceae) has been described in traditional books to have diuretic and laxative actions, to ameliorate edematous disease, and to be used in insomnia and gastointestinal disorders. Thus this study was carried out to elucidate some of the pharmacological activities of the plant extracts. The results obtained in tills experiment indicated that its methanol extract elicited remarkable inhibition of HCI.ethanol induced gastric lesion, Shay ulceration and gastric secretion. However, it showed no anti-inflammatory action. The acute toxicity of the extract was low, that is, the minimum lethal dose was more than 2000 mg/kg by oral administration in mice. The systematic fractionation of the methanol extract by hexane, ether, ethylacetate and butanol resulted in potent prevention of gastric erosion in butanol and water fractions.
