Abstract EN
Ulcerative colitis is an inflammatory chronic disease that affects the mucosa and submucosa of the colon and rectum.
Several types of drugs are available such as aminosalicylates.
Peptic ulcer disease (PUD) is a common disorder that affects millions of individuals worldwide and it can be considered one of the most important common diseases in the world.
Treatment of peptic ulcers depends on using a number of synthetic drugs that reduce the rate of stomach acid secretion (Antiacids), protect the mucous tissues that line the stomach and upper portion of the small intestine (Demulcents) or to eliminate Helicobacter pylori (H.
pylori).
In most cases, incidence of relapses and adverse reactions is seen in the following synthetic antiulcer therapy.
Accordingly, the main concern of the current article is to introduce a safe drug (or more) of natural origin, to be used for the management of gastric ulcers without side effects.
A widespread search has been launched to identify new anti-ulcer therapies from natural sources.
Herbs, medicinal plants, spices, vegetables and crude drug substances are considered to be a potential source to control various diseases including gastric ulcer and ulcerative colitis.
In the scientific literature, a large number of medicinal plants and their secondary metabolites with potential antiulcer (anti-peptic ulcer and ant ulcerative colitis) activities have been reported.
Treatment with natural products produces promising results and fewer side effects.
Our goal is to collect the published data in the last 24 years and reviews the natural products reported in the treatment of these diseases and their mechanism of action.
