ABSTRACT
Incidence of Peptic Ulcer Disease is high among Indian population and showed the risk
of intestinal cancer. Many medicinal plants possess antiulcer properties. Cleome gynandra whole
plant is selected to assess its antiulcer activity on experimental modals. Ethanol induced ulcer
assay was performed along with antioxidant assay. SOD, GPx, GSH, CAT and MDA were
assessed using standard textual methods. CGWPAE and CGWPEE proved to be an excellent
antiulcer and antioxidant agent, which is similar to omeprazole effect. These two extracts
exhibited good ulcer protection effect and reduced gastric acid secretion and also gastric acidity.
Experimental evidences confirmed that plant extracts regained its ulcer cure effect and
antioxidant effect as like group I normal animals and confirmed power of this plant as an
antioxidant and antiulcer agent, which could be due to its phytochemicals.
