A protective effect of the methanol extract of Shelliguea feei METT. roots on gastric lesions induced by stress in mice and HCl/ethanol in rats has been investigated. Animals were randomly divided into control and test groups and given the methanol extract orally at doses of 0.5, 1.0, and 2.0 g/kg of body weight. This investigation indicated that the methanol extract at doses of 1.0 and 2.0 g/kg significantly reduced stress-induced gastric lesions in mice at the percent protection of 38% and 62%, respectively, and decreased the number of HCI/ethanol-induced ulcers in rats significantly at the percent inhibition of 21.50% and 90.65%, respectively, and severity of ulcers at the score of 3.6 and 1.0 significantly different from the control. These results suggest that the methanol extract of S. feei may have a beneficial protective effect on the gastric ulcers.
