The healing activity of the methanol extract of the spice rampatri, Myristica malabarica, (RM) and omeprazole against indometacin-induced stomach ulceration has been studied in a mouse model. Treatment with RM (40 mg kg(-1) per day) and omeprazole (3 mg kg(-1) per day) for 3 days could effectively heal the stomach ulceration, as revealed from the ulcer indices and histopathological studies. Compared with the ulcerated group, treatment with RM and omeprazole for 3 days reduced the macroscopic damage score by approximately 72% and 76%, respectively (P<0.001), establishing the efficacy of RM. The extent of ulcer healing offered by 3 days' treatment with RM or omeprazole was better than that observed with natural recovery over 5 and 7 days (P<0.05). The healing capacities of RM and omeprazole could be attributed to their antioxidant activity as well as the ability to enhance the mucin content of the gastric tissues. Both drugs reduced lipid peroxidation (by 42-44%) and protein carbonyl content (by 34%), and augmented non-protein thiol levels beyond normal values. Furthermore, RM improved the mucin level beyond the normal value, while omeprazole restored it to near normalcy.
