Pharmacological Investigation of Ipomoea Reniformis Chois from Convolvulaceae Family with Special Emphasis on Its Antiulcer Property

Abstract

The research article presented here explores the therapeutic potential of Ipomoea reniformis, particularly its antiulcer effects. The study employs a rigorous methodology, utilizing both the pyloric ligated ulcer and cold restraint stress-induced ulcer models to evaluate the efficacy of ethanolic leaf extracts at two dosage levels (200 and 400 mg/kg) in rats The findings reveal a significant dose-dependent reduction in gastric volume and ulcer index across both models, indicating that Ipomoea reniformis possesses substantial antiulcer activity.. The research works concludes that these pharmacological benefits likely stem from the compound's antisecretory and antioxidant properties, suggesting its potential as a natural therapeutic agent for gastric ulcers.
