In conclusion, from the results of our present study, it was
evident that the EEHA contains quercetin and gallic acid amongst
its other phytoconstituents. EEHA has shown potent ulcer
protective activity in each of the ulcer models studied. Although
an exact mechanism of ulcer protective activity of EEHA is not
derived yet, its ability to combat tissue damage is very significant
as compared to vehicle treated control group, probably because
of its diverse phytoconstituents like phenolics, flavonoids which
have been reported for antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and anti
nociceptic property, may contribute to its ulceroprotective activity.
The synthetic antiulcer drugs like omeprazole, ranitidine, and
cimetidine although are very potent and effective but have adverse
side effects, in contrast EEHA, being a plant product, can be used as
natural remedial of ulcer without any side effects.
