Abstract:
Ulcer is tissue erosion, either on skin or inside the body, for e.g. lining of gastrointestinal tract. The diverse causes for ulcer development range from, Genetic factors to Physiological/ Environmental factors. Gastric ulcer disease is extremely common in developing and developed countries. Due to side effects from conventional drug therapy and non-specificity of therapeutic choices, there is inclination towards traditional medicines with low cost and low adverse effect incidences. The leaves of Trichosanthes dioca Roxb i.e. Patol selected for present work is purely herbal in origin, easily available and economic which offers added advantage for present study. Pathogenesis of Peptic ulcer involves three important factors Agnimandya, Ama, and annavahasrotodusti along with vitiation of Pitta and Kapha leading to qualitative and quantitative changes in pachaka pitta. Increase in ama and drava guna of pachaka pitta gives rise to Amlapitta and it leads to ulceration. Patol mainly possesses tikta in rasa, ruksha and laghu in guna. It helps in pacifying pitta dosha which is main pathological reason for ulcer formation. Patol reduces gastric secretion may be attributed to its anti-secretary property. The phytochemical tests of the Trichosanthes dioica extract showed the presence of tannins, saponins, flavonoids, triterpenoids vitamin A and vitamin C. Many research work proved the anti ulcer activity of saponin and tannin. Thus it can be suggested that presence of saponins and flavonoids may be responsible for patol’s antiulcer activity. Thus the present study confirms the use of Trichosanthes dioica Roxb leaves in the traditional management of peptic ulcer disease.
