ABSTRACT: Ethanolic leaf extract of Pithecellobium dulce was studied for its anti ulcer activity in pyloric ligated ulcer model in rats. The volume of gastric juice, pH , and ulcer index were reduced significantly (P< 0.001 ) in the animals pretreated with alcoholic extract at the tested dose level. HPTLC fingerprint profile of the same extract was developed which would serve as reference standard for quality control of this extract.
