The main objective of the current study was to investigate the antiulcer potentials of <jats:italic>Polygonum hydropiper<\/jats:italic> crude methanolic ectract (Ph.Cr) in aspirin induced ulcerogenesis using pylorus ligated rat model. <jats:italic>In-vitro<\/jats:italic> urease and <jats:italic>Proteus mirabilis<\/jats:italic> inhibitory potentials were evaluated using standard protocols. All fractions were analyzed using GC-MS to identify major components. The aspirin induced ulcerogenesis in pylorus ligated rat model was associated with significant changes in the mean ulcer score [<jats:italic>F<\/jats:italic><jats:sub>(5, 30)<\/jats:sub> = 7.141, <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic> = 0.0002], gastric juice volume [<jats:italic>F<\/jats:italic><jats:sub>(5, 30)<\/jats:sub> = 8.245, <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic> &amp;lt; 0.0001], gastric juice pH [<jats:italic>F<\/jats:italic><jats:sub>(5, 30)<\/jats:sub> = 5.715, <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic> = 0.0008], free acidity [<jats:italic>F<\/jats:italic><jats:sub>(5, 30)<\/jats:sub> = 4.544, <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic> = 0.0033], total acidity [<jats:italic>F<\/jats:italic><jats:sub>(5, 30)<\/jats:sub> = 2.740, <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic> = 0.0373], and pepsin concentration [<jats:italic>F<\/jats:italic><jats:sub>(5, 30)<\/jats:sub> = 2.335, <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic> = 0.0664]. Pre-treatment with Ph.Cr at 100, 200, and 400 mg\/kg dose exhibited marked gastroprotective and anti-ulcerogenic effect in the aspirin induced pyloric ligation ulcerogenesis model at 100, 200, and 400 mg\/kg as indicated by ulcerative biochemical parameters. In urease inhibition assay, leaves essential oil (Ph.Lo), saponins (Ph.Sp), and chloroform extract (Ph.Chf) exhibited highest activities with IC<jats:sub>50<\/jats:sub> of 90, 98, and 520 \u03bcg\/ml, respectively. Ph.Sp, Ph.Chf, ethyl acetate (Ph.EtAc), and Ph.Cr showed MICs of 25, 30, 32.25, and 40.50 \u03bcg\/ml, respectively against <jats:italic>P. mirabilis<\/jats:italic>. Several compounds were identified in GC-MS analysis of samples. Significant <jats:italic>in-vivo<\/jats:italic> antiulcer, urease inhibitory as well as anti-proteus potentials of <jats:italic>P. hydropiper<\/jats:italic> solvent extracts, signify its potential use for the management of peptic ulcers and may provide scientific bases for the traditional uses of the plant.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3389\/fchem.2017.00058","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2017,8,2]],"date-time":"2017-08-02T03:55:34Z","timestamp":1501646134000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3389\/crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":46,"title":["GC-MS Analysis and Gastroprotective Evaluations of Crude Extracts, Isolated Saponins, and Essential Oil from Polygonum hydropiper L."],"prefix":"10.3389","volume":"5","author":[{"given":"Muhammad","family":"Ayaz","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Muhammad","family":"Junaid","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Farhat","family":"Ullah","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Abdul","family":"Sadiq","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Muhammad","family":"Shahid","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Waqar","family":"Ahmad","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ihsan","family":"Ullah","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ashfaq","family":"Ahmad","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Nawazish-i-Husain","family":"Syed","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1965","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2017,8,2]]},"reference":[{"key":"B1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"615","DOI":"10.1097\/MOG.0b013e328358d5b9","article-title":"Proton pump inhibitors: potential adverse effects","volume":"28","author":"Abraham","year":"2012","journal-title":"Curr.
