Sennoside A (erythro) and sennoside B (threo) are dianthrone glycosides and diastereomers. We investigated their abilities to prevent the gastric lesions associated with diseases, such as, gastritis and gastric ulcer. To elucidate their gastroprotective effects, the inhibitions of HCl•EtOH-induced
We studied the effects of 17 kinds of Kampo-formulations prescribed for the treatment of peptic ulcer on H,K-ATPase activity. The activity was strongly inhibited by San-o-shashin-to ([symbol: see text], IC50 = 82 micrograms/ml), Bukuryo-in ([symbol: see text], IC50 = 110 micrograms/ml),
