RESULTSThe microscopic findings in Naproxen induced ulcer model states that the total ulcerativearea in control (no drug) group was 7.51±0.05 mm 2 whereas in standard (omeparazole) groupit significantly reduced to 2.33±0.05 mm 2 . The test formulation <strong>of</strong> Azadirachta indica &Lawsonia inermis (F1) was significant and reduced the ulcer area to 2.4±0.12 mm 2 which isvery near to standard . The test drug in F2 potency also significantly reduced the total ulcerarea upto 3.58±0.11 mm 2 . The test formulation was found insignificant in F3 and F4. ButFormulation F5 had extraverted the ulcer area upto an great extent to 30.41±0.21 mm 2 andis completely insignificant. The microscopic findings in Histamine induced ulcer model statesthat the total ulcerative area in control (no drug ) group was 10.65±0.06 mm 2 whereas instandard (Ranitidine) group it significantly reduced to 2.71±0.12 mm 2 . The test formulation<strong>of</strong> Azadirachta indica & Lawsonia inermis F1, F2 and F3 were significant and reduced theulcer area to 8.1±0.12mm 2 and 8.86±0.13 mm 2 .

Bouchra Meddah et al.<strong>World</strong> <strong>Journal</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Pharmaceutical</strong> Researchextraverted the ulcer area upto an great extent to 63.56±0.24 mm 2 and is completelyinsignificant.4. DISCUSSIONThe mechanism by which the Naproxen induce gastric lesions is likely due to prostaglandin(PGE2) secreation inhibition which leads to mucosal layer inhibition and forms ulcer.Development <strong>of</strong> such gastric lesions can be inhibited antiulcer drugs which increaseprostaglandin (PGE 2) secreation and thus forms mucosal layer to prevent ulcer 20,21 . Theresults concluded that formulation <strong>of</strong> Azadirachta indica & Lawsonia inermis F1 and F2 arehaving the comparable effect with the standard Omeprazole and can be predicted that theseformulations may have PGE2 enhancing activity and thus are good antiulcer agents. WhereasF5 <strong>of</strong> formulation effect extraverts’ ulcer up to an large extent in experimental animals.The mechanism by which the histamine induce gastric lesions is likely due to its potent acidstimulating and or vasodilating capability, which leads to increased vascular permeability.Development <strong>of</strong> such gastric lesions was inhibited by histamine H 2 receptor antagonists. Theresults concluded that homeopathic formulation Azadirachta indica & Lawsonia inermis F1and F2 are not having significant effect with the standard ranitidine and can be predicted thatthese formulations do have H 2 receptor antagonist activity and thus are not good antiulceragents. Whereas F5 <strong>of</strong> formulation effect extraverts’ ulcer up to an large extent inexperimental animals 22,23 .5. CONCLUSIONIt is clear that the medicinal plants play a vital role against on various diseases. Variousherbal plants and plants extracts have significant antiulcer activity in animal models. Theresults obtained from the present study show that the Polyherbal Formulation <strong>of</strong> Lawsoniainermis and Azadirachta indica had beneficial Antiulcer effects in Naproxen & Histamineinduced models. The results <strong>of</strong> this study indicate that extracts <strong>of</strong> leaves <strong>of</strong> Lawsonia inermisand Azadirachta indica appears to be useful material for further studies, leading to possibledrug development for Ulcer as their combined formulation on different concentrationgradient had shown the potential role <strong>of</strong> antiulcer activity have good potentials for use inpeptic ulcer disease. Further Phytochemical investigations are required to elucidate the exactmechanism <strong>of</strong> action & also the active principles responsible for such effects.www.wjpr.net 100
