Abstract

Gastric ulcer (GU) is the most common health concern that occurs due to alcohol consumption, smoking and physiological stress. Boswelia dalzielii (BD) is traditionally used to treat many diseases including gastric ulcers. This study aims to investigate the gastroprotective activity of Boswelia dalzielii. The cytoprotective property of Boswelia dalzielii was evaluated by using five experimental methods of GU: 1. Absolute ethanol, 2. HCl/Ethanol, 3. HCl/ Ethanol/ Indomethacin, 4. Indomethacin, 5. Pylorus ligation. Omeprazole was used as reference anti-ulcer drugs. Phytochemical screening of Boswelia dalzielii was carried out, and experimental Wistar rats (150-200 g) were used to evaluate the anti-ulcerogenic effects of the extract was carried out. Phytochemical screening of the effects of extract of Boswelia dalzielii extract revealed the presence of phytochemicals components such as tannins, saponins, flavonoids, triterpenes, and phenols. The oral administrations of 400 mg/kg of body weight of Boswelia dalzielii could protect the gastric mucosa against gastric ulcer. The results showed that Boswelia dalzielii at a concentration of 400 mg/kg has significant antiulcerogenic effects against absolute ethanol, hydrochloride ethanol (HCl/EtOH), HCl/ EtOH/IND, and pyloric ligation-induced gastric ulcer.
