The anti-ulcerogenic potential of the aqueous extract of Eremomastax speciosa leaves was investigated using two methods of ulcer induction: HCl/EtOH-induced ulceration and pylorus ligation. With both methods, the extract inhibited gastric ulceration in a dose-related manner. The highest oral dose tested (190 mg/kg) completely inhibited gastric ulceration and significantly reduced gastric acidity compared with the controls. Incubation of gastric juice with the plant extract (190 mg/kg) significantly reduced the acidity of the incubated gastric juice compared with the controls.

The present study evaluated the effect of the aqueous extract from leaves of E. speciosa on some physiological and biochemical parameters of reproduction and the onset of puberty in pregnant mare serum gonadotropin (PMSG)-primed immature female rats. High pressure liquid chromatography (HPLC) was used to quantify the phenolic compounds in the methanol/methylene chloride (1:1) extract, the ethanolic and ethyl acetate fractions and the aqueous residue of E.

Objective: This work investigated the healing and antisecretory effects of the aqueous extract of on "unhealed gastric ulcers" associated with gastric acid hypersecretion.
Materials And Methods: "Unhealed gastric ulcers" were induced using indomethacin following the establishment of acetic-acid-induced chronic gastric ulcers. The extract (200 and 400 mg/kg, per os) was administered concomitantly with indomethacin (1 mg/kg, subcutaneously).

Background: The vast majority of the population around the world has always used medicinal plants as first source of health care to fight infectious and non infectious diseases. Most of these medicinal plants may have scientific evidence to be considered in general practice.
Objective: The aim of this work was to investigate the antioxidant capacities and anti-inflammatory activities of ethanol extracts of leaves of Cassia alata, Eleusine indica, Carica papaya, Eremomastax speciosa and the stem bark of Polyscias fulva, collected in Cameroon.
