ETHNOPHARMACOLOGICAL RELEVANCE: Cedrus deodara (Roxb.) Loud. is used in Ayurvedic medicine to treat peptic ulcer.
AIM OF THE STUDY: To evaluate the gastric antisecretory and antiulcer activity of Cedrus deodara.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: The volatile oil extracted by steam distillation of Cedrus deodara wood was examined for its gastric antisecretory and antiulcer effect in the pylorus-ligated rat model and ethanol induced gastric lesions in rats.
RESULTS: The volatile oil showed significant antisecretory activity as evidenced by decreased gastric fluid volume, total acidity, free acidity and increase in the pH of the gastric fluid in pylorus-ligated rats. Our studies also revealed that pretreatment with Cedrus deodara significantly reduced the number of ulcer, ulcer score and ulcer index in pylorus-ligated and ethanol treated rats. The antiulcer activity of Cedrus deodara is further supported by histopathological study which showed protection of mucosal layer from ulceration and inflammation.
CONCLUSION: The present findings conclude that volatile oil of Cedrus deodara wood has potent antisecretory and antiulcer effects and justify the traditional usage of this herb to treat peptic ulcers.
