The role of the ariginine-metabolism in the healing action of the Piper betle phenol, allylpyrocatechol (APC) and omeprazole against indomethacin-induced stomach ulceration in mouse was investigated. Indomethacin (18 mg/kg) was found to induce maximum stomach ulceration in Swiss albino mice on the
Indomethacin caused maximum stomach ulceration in mice on the 3rd day, which was associated with reduction of plasma total antioxidant status (TAS), COX-1, COX-2, mucosal PGE(2), VEGF, and vWF, along with an increase in endostatin levels. Treatment with the phytochemical allylpyrocatechol (5 mg/kg,
BACKGROUND
The gastro-intestinal disorders, induced by the NSAIDs including indomethacin (IND) remain unresolved medical problems. Herein, we disclose allylpyrocatechol (APC) as a potential agent against IND-gastropathy and rationalize its action mechanistically.
METHODS
Mice were pre-treated with
OBJECTIVE
To evaluate the protective activity of allylpyrocatechol (APC), the major antioxidant constituent of Piper betel, against the indomethacin-induced stomach ulceration in the rat model and correlates with its antioxidative and mucin protecting properties.
METHODS
Male Sprague-Dawley rats
