Objective:To evaluate the effect of aqueous leaf extract ofGuiera senegalensis(G. senegalensis) on gastric mucosal damage using different ulcer models.Methods:Considering the above claims, the present study was undertaken to validate the gastroprotective potential of the aqueous leaf extract of this plant against ethanol, water immersion andAspirin induced ulcer models. Results:The leaf extract(50,100 and200 mg/kg,p.o.) significantly(P<0.05) decreased the ulcer index in all assays used.Conclusions:The results obtained, provide strong evidence of antiulcer activity of the leaf extract ofG. senegalensis and support the traditional uses of the plant for the treatment of ulcer.
