摘要

The present study was conducted with the aim of evaluating the antiulcer activity of ocimum sanctum and to explore its mechanism of action. In this study, ocimum sanctum leaf extract was investigated for its activity against aspirin induced gastric ulcers in albino rats. The drug showed significant activity in the doses of 100 mg/kg and 200 mg/kg. To explore the mechanism, its activity was observed on oxytocin induced contractions in rat uterus. It exhibited a significant potentiation of the height of contraction induced by oxytocin. The maximum potentiation was observed in the dose of 0.5 mg/ml which may be due to enhanced synthesis of prostaglandins since they are mediators of uterine contractions. This indicates a cytoprotective mechanism for the antiulcer activity of ocimum sanctum. Introduction Ulcerations in the gastrointestinal mucosa are excavated defects that results when epithelial cells succumb to the caustic effects of acid and pepsin. The drugs currently available for peptic ulcer may be associated with adverse effects, patient non-compliance, drug resistance and disease relapse. Some of the drugs may be expensive which may again lead to patient non-compliance and recurrence of peptic ulcer disease 1 Therefore, for this research project, a herbal drug (plant), ocimum sanctum was selected to study its effect on peptic ulceration as well as the mechanism of action in some animal models.Ocimum sanctum is an erect hairy annual herb, found throughout India upto an altitude of 1800m in the Himalayas2. It has been claimed to be useful as a diaphoretic, diuretic, expectorant, febrifuge and vermifuge. It is also useful in cardiopathy, asthma, otalgia, hepatopathy, vomiting, genitourinary disorders and skin diseases3.Though the antiulcer activity of ocimum sanctum has been evaluated, 4,5,6,7studies in this regard are limited and the mechanism of action has not been explored.Therefore, it was decided to evaluate the antiulcer activity of ocimum sanctum and to explore its mechanism of action in some animal models. Materials and Methods Animals Albino rats: Healthy adult albino rats of either sex, weighing between 120-180 gm were used to induce gastric ulcers with aspirin. Virgin female rats were used to evaluate the effect of test drug on oxytocin induced uterine contractions. They were caged under standard conditions and were allowed to acclimatise to their surroundings for one week before subjecting them to experimentation. Prior to experimentation permission was taken from institutional ethical committee. Drugs and Chemicals Test drug: Fresh leaves of the plant ocimum sanctum were collected during the month of April from a local area in Sevagram and were shade dried and powdered. A hydro alcoholic (70% V/V) extract of shade dried fresh leaves of ocimum sanctum was prepared. This extract was again shade dried and was used to prepare an aqueous solution in desired concentration just before use every time. The same extract was used for all the experiments. Acetyl salicylic acid or Aspirin (Salg pharma): A 2% suspension in gum acacia was prepared in distilled water and diluted to get the desired concentration. Ranitidine (Ranbaxy, India): It was diluted in distilled water to get the desired concentration. Oxytocin (Novartis, India): It was prepared in distilled water just before use. Oestradiol valerate (German remedies, India): Solution was prepared in desired concentration before use. De Jalon’s Physiologic salt solution for rat uterus: NaCl - 9 gm/L, KCl - 0.42 gm /L, CaCl2 –0.06 gm/L, NaHCO3 - 0.5 gm/L and Glucose - 0.5 gm added to 1 litre of distilled water Method for antiulcer activity Before experimentation or induction of ulcers, the animals were kept fasting for 24 hours but were allowed free access to water. They were caged in wire-meshed cages having a plate at the base to avoid coprophagy. The animals were divided randomly into five groups of six animals each. Group I received distilled water (10ml/kg) orally and s
