Mithun K. Sebastian* and Shan P. Mohammed
ABSTRACT
The Diospyros Paniculata is a folkforic medicine which has been used
in Ayurveda and Siddha system of medicines. It has been commonly
used in the treatment of ulcer, burns, poisoning etc. The present study
is conducted to evaluate the In vitro H+/K+ ATPase inhibitory activity
of ethanolic extract of Diospyros Paniculata (EEDP). H+/K+ ATPase
inhibition assay was performed by using different concentration of
EEDP ranging from 10-50μg/ml and % inhibition calculated which is
compared with the standard drug lansoprazole. The results obtained
indicate that the EEDP has significant In vitro H+/K+ ATPase
inhibitory activity (P<0.001).IC 50 value of the EEDP is 26μg/ml and
the IC 50 value of Standard drug lansoprazole is 18μg/ml. The
ethanolic extract of Diospyros Paniculata is having good H+/K+
ATPase inhibitory action.
Keywords: Diospyros Paniculata, In vitro, H?/K+ ATPase.
