ABSTRACT
The antiulcer activity of the aerial parts of Mirabilis jalapa Linn. [fam. Nyctaginaceae] was studied on albino rats. The antiulcer activity of the chloroform extract, ethanolic extract and aqueous extract was evaluated by using pyloric ligation models and alcohol induced ulceration model. All the test samples revealed significant antiulcer activity. The order of decreasing ulcer score was found to be aqueous extract < ethanol extract < chloroform extract in all performed models. The results indicate that the aerial parts of Mirabilis jalapa are endowed with potential antiulcer activity
