Article Synopsis
- Jatropha elliptica roots are traditionally used to treat gastric ulcers, and this study investigates the gastroprotective effects and toxicity of its ethanol extract and hexane fraction in mice.
- The findings show that both the extracts significantly reduced gastric lesions in ulcer models without causing any acute toxicity symptoms.
- Key compounds identified include fraxetin and jatrophone, with cyperenoic acid showing notable potency in reducing gastric lesions and preserving the gastric mucus layer, indicating its potential as a protective agent.
