The ethanolic extracts of aerial parts and fruits of Aglaia roxburghiana were tested in rats for their effect on gastric secretion and ulcer formation in Shay rats and aspirin-induced ulcer model. Doses ranging from 100 to 400 mg/kg of the extracts were used in the experiment. The fruit extract produced a dose-dependent reduction of the free acidity whereas, a significant reduction in ulcer score was observed for both aerial part and fruit extracts. Both the extracts also offered significant protection against aspirin-induced ulcers. Histopathological observations support the ulcer protective effect of Aglaia roxburghiana. The present results agree with the use of Aglaia roxburghiana in traditional medicine against gastric ulceration.
