Lead phytomolecules for gastroprotective drug development

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

Peptic ulcer disease represents an important public health problem worldwide. Such disease may occur due to improper balance in the aggressive as well as in the defensive mechanisms. Although proton pump inhibitors reduces the production of stomach acid and help in decreasing mortality and morbidity rates due to gastic problems. Products obtained from natural sources also represent therapeutic alternatives for the treatment of gastric problems. Gastroprotective effect of herbs is endorsed to its bioactive phytomolecules present in it. In view of this, study was designed to survey the literature of secondary metabolite, plant source as well as signaling pathways. For literature survey of secondary metabolites, plant sources and signaling pathways various electronis databases were searched and data were compiled.The study of this literature survey revealed that secondary metabolites from plant origin have the potential to become the active gastroprotective agent. Consequently, phytomolecules are proved to be ideal one with much effectiveness property and possessing less toxicity associated with therapeutic potential for preventing and curing the gastrointestinal disorders. It can, therefore, be identified and recommended as a novel lead for drug development process to design gastroprotective drug.
