Anti-ulcer activity of leucas aspera spreng

Anc Sci Life. 1992 Jul;12(1-2):257-60.

Abstract

The alcoholic extract of Leucas aspera (ALA) was investigated for its antiulcer effect by two experimental models. A significant reduction in acid secretion and ulcer score was observed in rats after ALA treatment. The observed antiulcer effect of ALA may be due to a combination of antisecretary effect and a protective effect on gastric mucosa.
