Gastro-protective effect of ethanolic extract of <i>Mentha longifolia</i> in alcohol- and aspirin-induced gastric ulcer models

Anti-ulcer activity of Cestrum nocturnum leaf in ethanol- and indomethacin-induced ulcer models

“…Current results are in agreement with Banerjee and Firdous findings (Banerjee and Firdous;. Gul et al, (2015) explored anti-ulcer activity of Menthe longifolia and found decline in ulcer index (Gul et al, 2015). Dalbergia sissoo has been discovered to possess anti-ulcer activity by gastric mucosal protection (Gul et al, 2016).…”

“…Phyto-therapeutic agents are under limelight for the management and treatment of diseases globally (Cipriani et al, 2008;Gul et al, 2015). Number of plants have been investigated for anti-ulcer activity by number of researchers such as Mentha longifolia, Dalbergia sissoo, Morus nigra, Convolvulus arvensis and Chenopodium murale (Saleem et al, 2014;Mallhi et al, 2014;Ali et al, 2013;Gul et al, 2015;Gul et al, 2016).…”

Medicinal plants with gastroprotective potential

“…Gastroprotective efficacy of ethanolic extract of M. longifolia has been explored in rats at two different doses (100 and 200 mg/kg) (Gul et al, 2015). Alcohol and aspirin were used as ulcer inducing agents in the study.…”

<i>Mentha longifolia</i> lowers blood pressure in anesthetized rats through multiple pathways

“…Additionally, the plant has a reputation for its medical use in other conditions, such as diarrhea, gut spasm (Amini, 1997), indigestion and flatulence (Watt and Breyer-Brandwijk, 1962;Duke, 2002). M. longifolia has been reported for diverse biological activities, such as antimicrobial and anti-oxidant (Mimica-Duki et al, 1999), antimycotic (Abou-Jawdah et al, 2001), antiHIV (Amzazi et al, 2003), antiulcer (Gul et al, 2015), anthelmintic (Kozan et al, 2006), antipyretic (Amabeoku et al, 2009), anti-cancer (Sharma et al, 2014) and antidiarrheal (Jalilzadeh-Amin and Maham, 2015). The plant has been traditionally used in the management of heart diseases but current literature lacks scientific evidence for its use in these conditions.…”
