Ornithogalum umbellatum (OrUm), traditionally referenced in homeopathy for gastrointestinal complaints, lacks thorough pre-clinical evaluation. This study investigated the anti-ulcer effects of OrUm in mother tincture (MT), 6C and 30C potencies using an indomethacin-induced gastric ulcer model in Sprague-Dawley rats.<\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>Thirty-six rats were divided into six groups (n\u2009=\u20096 per group). Five groups received indomethacin (30\u2009mg\/kg, subcutaneously) to induce ulcers. Four of these were treated orally for 7 days with esomeprazole (20\u2009mg\/kg), OrUm-MT, OrUm-6C, or OrUm-30C. One group served as disease control and another as normal control. Biochemical parameters (including SGOT, SGPT, ALP, urea, creatinine, glucose, protein), antioxidant markers (MDA, SOD) and histopathological changes were assessed. Liquid chromatography\u2013mass spectrometry (LC\u2013MS) was performed to analyze the phytochemical composition of OrUm-MT.<\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>OrUm-6C significantly improved SGOT, SGPT, ALP, urea, glucose, protein and MDA levels (p\u2009&lt;\u20090.05), with histological evidence of mucosal healing. OrUm-MT significantly reduced SGPT and creatinine levels but showed mild ulceration histologically. OrUm-30C showed no significant biochemical improvement. LC-MS analysis of OrUm-MT revealed phenolic acids and flavonoids, which may underlie its antioxidant effects.<\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>This is the first pre-clinical study to demonstrate the anti-ulcer potential of OrUm. Among the tested potencies, OrUm-6C showed the most consistent biochemical and histopathological improvements. These findings support further investigation through rigorous pre-clinical and clinical studies to establish its therapeutic potential.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1055\/a-2708-3244","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,2,10]],"date-time":"2026-02-10T00:47:02Z","timestamp":1770684422000},"page":"181-188","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Anti-Ulcer Effect of Ornithogalum umbellatum at Various Potencies in Indomethacin-Induced Gastric Ulceration in Sprague-Dawley Rats: A Pre-clinical Study"],"prefix":"10.1055","volume":"115","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6342-8862","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Puja","family":"Bhakta","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Central Government Health Scheme, Ministry of Health and Family Welfare, New Delhi, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Manoharan","family":"Raja","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Homoeopathic Pharmacy, National Institute of Homoeopathy, Kolkata, West Bengal, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Somasundaram","family":"Arumugam","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pharmacology & Toxicology, National Institute of Pharmaceutical Education and Research (NIPER)\u2014Kolkata, West Bengal, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Manoj Limbraj","family":"Yellurkar","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Natural Products, National Institute of Pharmaceutical Education and Research (NIPER)\u2014Kolkata, West Bengal, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Vani Sai","family":"Prasanna","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pharmacology & Toxicology, National Institute of Pharmaceutical Education and Research (NIPER)\u2014Kolkata, West Bengal, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Kaushik","family":"Bhar","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Quality Control and Research, Hahnemann Publishing Co.
