ANTI-ULCER PROPERTIES OF ALKALOIDS ISOLATED FROM THE FRUIT PULP OF CUCUMIS METULIFEROUS (CURCURBITACEAE)
Anti-ulcer properties of the alkaloids isolated from the fruit of Cucumis metuliferous was investigated in mice. Ethanol-induced gastric lesion was used to assess the anti-ulcer activity. In this study, there was a significant (p<0.05) decrease in haemorrhages and ulcerations of the gastric mucosa at 500 and 1000 mg/kg of the alkaloid compared with control. The activity of the extract is compar...
