Nyctanthes arbortristis Linn (Oleaceae) is widely distributed in sub-Himalayan regions and southwards to Godavari, India commonly known as Harsingar and Night Jasmine. In continuation of our drug discovery program on Indian medicinal plants, we isolated arbortristoside-A (AT) and 7-O-trans-cinnamoyl-6β-hydroxyloganin (6-HL) from the seeds of N. arbortristis. AT and 6-HL exhibited anti ulcer activity in experimentally induced ulcer models including cold restraint stress (CRU), alcohol (AL), pylorus ligation-induced gastric ulcer (PL) models and they also showed ulcer healing effect in chronic acetic acid-induced ulcer model (AC).
