AI Article Synopsis

  • The study aims to compare the effectiveness of buffered pantoprazole tablets to plain pantoprazole in preventing ulcers in rats with pyloric ligation.
  • The experiment involved measuring gastric content volume, pH, acidity levels, and ulcer lesions, along with analyzing pantoprazole concentration using HPLC.
  • Results indicated that buffered pantoprazole maintained a higher gastric pH for longer periods and provided better absorption in the gastric content and tissue, demonstrating its superior bioavailability over plain pantoprazole.

Article Abstract

Objective: To compare the anti-ulcer activity of buffered pantoprazole tablet against plain pantoprazole in pyloric ligated rats.

Materials And Methods: In vivo pyloric ligated ulcerogenesis model was used to assess the effect of buffered pantoprazole on the volume of the gastric content, pH, total and free acidity, and ulcerogenic lesion. Pantoprazole level in gastric content and concurrently in stomach tissue was assessed by High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) analysis.

Results: Buffered tablet effectively increases the pH of the gastric content above 4 up to 6 h (P<0.001) protecting pantoprazole from acid degradation resulting in high concentration in the gastric content and stomach tissue.

Conclusions: This study substantiates better, faster and prolonged bioavailability of pantoprazole-buffered tablet compared to plain pantoprazole.

Article Synopsis
  • The study investigates the anti-ulcer effects of hydroalcoholic extract (HETp) and its active component parthenolide (PTL) against gastric ulcers induced by ethanol and piroxicam.
  • Results showed that both HETp and PTL significantly reduced ulcer formation, with additional histological support confirming their effectiveness.
  • The protective effects involve various mechanisms, including the influence of nitric oxide, adrenergic receptors, and prostaglandins, while also enhancing antioxidant levels and reducing harmful enzyme activity.

Objective: To evaluate synergistic antiulcer activity of ethanolic extracts of Tephrosia purpurea and Bacopa monnieri in ulcer induced rats.

Methods: Ethanolic leaf extracts of both the plants were administered individually and in combination at a dose of 200mg/kg to ulcer induced male albino rats. Omeprazole 10mg/kg was used as standard.

The present study was designed to assess Tradescantia spathacea's antidiabetic ability, as well as the antiulcer activity of the entire plant extract. The diabetic condition was evaluated using Streptozotocin's oral glucose tolerance test, diabetes-alloxan and diabetes-models. Antiulcer activities were observed in rats where gastric ulcers were either caused by oral administration of ethanol, or pyloric ligation.

Purpose: Reflux esophagitis is a condition characterized by inflammation and irritation of the esophagus, resulting from the backflow of stomach acid and other gastric contents into the esophagus. Columbianadin is a coumarin derivative that exhibits anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects. In this study, we tried to scrutinize the protective effect of Columbianadin against acute reflux esophagitis in rats.
