In this study we investigated the protective effects of rutin, a natural plant flavonoid, on HCl/ethanol-induced gastric lesions in rats. Rutin showed the antioxidant activities, the acid-neutralizing capacities, and the inhibitory effects on the growth of Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori.), which are equivalent to control compounds. In addition, rutin significantly inhibited HCl/ethanol-induced gastric lesions. Antigastritic action of rutin may be associated with the antioxidant activities, acid-neutralizing capacities, anti-H. pylori action, and the stimulation of mucus secretion. From these results, we could suggest that rutin may be useful for the treatment and/or protection of gastritis.

In a preliminary screening of plant extracts for the antigastritic and anti- Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) actions in rats, the ethanol extract of Amomi Semen (AS) showed positive activity in HCl Ethanol-induced gastric lesions and H. pylori. Among the systematic fractions of hexane, chloroform, butanol and water, the most potent butanol fraction significantly reduced HCl, Ethanol-induced gastric lesions at the oral dose of 350 mg/kg. Also butanol fraction has an inhibitory effect on the growth of H. pylori $(MIC=1.43\;{\mu}g/mL)$. In pylorus ligated rats, butanol fraction showed decrease in the volume of gastric secretion and acid output, of which effects were stronger in other fractions. We isolated 6 subfractions by column chromatography. The protective effects of 6 subfractions of Amomi Semen were also significant in the HCl, Ethanol induced gastric lesion model. These results might suggest that they had inhibitory action in gastric lesion through inhibition of gastric acid secretion. Butanol fraction of AS can be applied as treatment of H. pylori. Butano fractions and ethanol extract of AS was carried out or the development of a new gastroprotective supplementary product.

This study examined the inhibitory effects of 4-guanidinobutyric acid (4GBA), an alkaloid, against gastric lesions by assessing the inhibition of Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) and gastric cancer cells. Acute and chronic gastritis were also observed using HCl/ethanol (EtOH) and indomethacin-induced gastric lesion models, respectively. 4GBA inhibited the growth of H. pylori in a dose dependent manner, and showed acid-neutralizing capacity. In the pylorus ligated rats, 4GBA decreased the volume of gastric secretion and gastric acid output slightly, and increased the pH. 4GBA at a dose of 100 mg/kg reduced the size of HCl/EtOH-induced gastric lesions (70.8%) and indomethacin-induced gastric lesions (38.8%). The antigastritic action of 4GBA might be associated with the acid-neutralizing capacity, anti-H. pylori action, and decreased volume of gastric secretion. These results suggest that 4GBA might be useful in the treatment and/or protection of gastritis.

Roots of Astragalus membranaceus (A. membranaceus) (Astragali Radix, AR) has been used as a herbal medicine for gastrointestinal disorders in China, Korea, Japan, and other Asia countries. In this study we investigated the effects of the AR 70% ethanol extract and compounds isolated from AR on gastritis in rats and growth of human gastric cancer cells. AR 70% ethanol extract showed the potent acid-neutralizing capacities and partly cytotoxicity of Helicobacter pylori and human AGS gastric cancers cell. Astragaloside I and daucosterol, which were isolated from AR, significantly inhibited HCl/ethanol-induced gastric lesions. In addition, daucosterol increased the mucus content to almost the same as the positive control. The results of this study suggest that astragaloside I and daucosterol may be good candidates for the development of new drugs or neutraceuticals which can be used for the treatment or prevention of gastritis.

Objectives : Gastric lesions affect many people around the world and their development are results of the imbalance between destructive and protective factors in the gastric mucosa. Lycium chinense has been widely used as a traditional Korean medicine, it was recently reported that they have potent anti-inflammatory effects in chronic hepatitis models. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the anti-inflammatory activity of Lycium chinense extract (LCE) on HCl-Ethanol induced gastric lesion mice.Methods : The ICR mice were divided randomly into five groups of six animals each. Group A was normal mice, and group B was treated orally with 0.5 ml 150 mM HCl-60% Ethanol. Mice in group C and D were pre-treatment of LCE (100 mg/kg and 200 mg/kg bodyweight, p.o before HCl/ethanol treatment) and group E was orally administered sucralfate (10 mg/kg).Results : 150mM HCl/60% ethanol-induced gastric mucosal injury mice were ameliorated mucosal damage upon histological evaluation by treatment of LCE. Pre-treatment of LCE attenuated reactive oxidative species (ROS) and produces peroxynitrite (ONOO^-) in stomach tissues. As results of stomach protein analyses, LCE effectively reduce inflammatory-related factors such as cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2), tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α), inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) and interleukin-6 (IL-6) in gastric lesion mice. In addition, nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB) and inhibitor of phosphorylation of nuclear factor kappa B (p-IκB) were down-regulated in LCE-administrated gastric lesion mice.Conclusions : Our discovery supports that the therapeutic activity of LCE ameliorate the development of gastric lesion via suppressing the oxidative stress and gastric partial inflammation induced by 150 mM HCl/60% ethanol.

The protective effects of the ethylacetate fraction of persimmon leaves(PEF) against experimentally induced gastric mucosal damage and gastric ulcers were evaluated in ratss. In prophylatic study, 100 mg/kg ethylacetate fraction of persimmon leaves (PEFH) exhibited a total protection of 73.8% and 65.7% against HCl-ethanol and 0.2N NaOH-induced gastric mucosal membrane lesions, respectively, which was superior to cimetidine 50 mg/kg, a commonly used anti-ulcer drug. PEFH showed excellent anti-ulcer effects against pylorus ligation induced gastric ulcers, compared to the control group, however, 50 mg/kg ethylacetate fraction of persimmon leaves (PEFL) and PEFH did not affect ulcers induced by water immersion stress, and that is inferior to cimetidine 50 mg/kg. In conclusion, the results suggest that the ethylacetate fraction of persimmon leaves can be used both in prevention and treatment of experimentally induced gastric mucosal damage and ulcers.

Gastritis and gastric ulcer were known to be induced by gastic acid, stress, ethanol, Helicobacter pylori and free radical, etc. This study was performed for the development of a new drug or nutraceutical from medicinal plants or natural products with anti-gastritis, anti-ulcerative and gastroprotective activities. The water extract of Scutellaria baicalensis was exhibited potent inhibition in HCl ethanol-induced gastric lesion, acetic acid-induced and Shay ulcers, indicating the effects on gastric lesion and ulcer in rats. The water extract of Scutellaria baicalensis significantly inhibited HCl ethanol-induced gastric lesions at the oral dose of 300, 500 mg/kg. In pylorus ligated rats, the treatments of the water extract from Scutellaria baicalensis showed decrease in the volume of gastric secretion and acid output and increase pH at oral dose of 300, 500 mg/kg. And significantly reduced acetic acid-induced ulcer at the oral dose of 500 mg/kg for 12 days. In this study, we have found that the water extract from Scutellaria baicalensis had significant improvement in acute gastritis and ulcer at the dose of 300, 500 mg/kg and in chronic gastritis and ulcer at the dose of 500 mg/kg. Also we evaluated the antibacterial activity against Helicobacter pylori treated with Scutellaria baicalensis. Scutellaria baicalensis had a equivalent antibacterial activity with ampicilin against H. pylori at the dose of $100\;{\mu}/ml$. In histological examination, the water extract of Scutellaria baicalensis drastically restored gastric damages induced by HCl ethanol solution, pylorus- ligature and acetic acid. Therefore, we may use the water extract from Scutellaria baicalensis as antigastritic and antiulcerative agent for the purpose of the improvement or treatment of gastritis and gastric ulcer.

Cotoneaster mongolicus Pojark. (CM), in the family Rosaceae is an endemic plant to the Mongolian region (its name: Moнroл чapraй). In Mongolia, Cotoneaster species as a crude drug is mainly used for inflammatory diseases, diarrhea, and stomach indigestion. In this study, we evaluated the gastro-protective activity underlying mechanism of CM. For in vivo experiments, mice were divided into 5 groups; normal mice (Normal), gastritis mice (Control), gastritis mice treated with sucralfate 10 mg/kg (SC), gastritis mice treated with CM 100 mg/kg (CML), gastritis mice treated with CM 200 mg/kg (CMH). Gastritis was provoked by HCl/ethanol (60% ethanol in 150 mM HCl). After oral administration of each drug, HCl/ethanol was orally administered 90 mins later to induce gastritis. CM alleviated the damage to the gastric mucosa caused. As a result of confirming the expression of protein in gastric tissue through western blot, CM significantly reduced the expression of NF-κB activated due to gastritis. Also, it significantly modulated the Nrf2-Keap1 pathway. These results indicate that CM not only inhibits the nuclear metastasis of NF-𝛋B but also modulates the Nrf2-Keap1 pathway to relieve inflammation of the gastric mucosa.
