Gastric ulcer is a prevalent gastrointestinal disorder caused by excessive gastric acid secretion, impaired mucosal defense and Helicobacter pylori infection. Existing pharmacological therapies such as proton pump inhibitors and H2-receptor antagonists, face challenges like resistance and adverse effects. Given the increasing need for safer and more effective antiulcer agents, investigating plant-derived compounds offers a promising alternative. The potential of plant extract in modulating gastric acid secretion and enhancing mucosal defense mechanisms warrants systematic evaluation. Garcinia gummigutta, a tropical fruit known for its medicinal properties, has shown potential antiulcer activity. This study evaluates the ethanolic extract of Garcinia gummi-gutta (EEG) fruit for its gastroprotective effects. The study involved the EEG effect on enzyme inhibition assay evaluated by H+/K+-ATPase activity. Various assessments including gastric pH, total acidity, gastric wall mucus levels, histamine content in the gastric mucosa and gastric volume, were experimented on ulcer-induced animal models across nine groups. The EEG extract demonstrated potent enzyme inhibition, with inhibition rates increasing from 54.41% at 10 ,ug/mL to 90.89% at 500 ,ug/mL, confirming its efficacy in reducing gastric acid secretion. Animal studies revealed dose-dependent ulcer protection, with 500 mu g/mL of EEG providing appreciable ulcer prevention supporting histopathological studies. Lower doses (10-250 mu g/mL) showed moderate effects. The findings suggested that EEG extract is a promising natural alternative for ulcer management, warranting further clinical investigations to explore its therapeutic potential.
