Pharmacogenetic, phytochemical, and pharmacological assessments will be used to identify the antiulcer effect of the M. tinctoria and V. negundo. By using a vacuum rotary evaporator, M. tinctoria and V. negundo alcoholic extracts were prepared. The OECD criteria for acute toxicity and sub-acute oral toxicity were done for 14, 28 days. For antiulcer activity determination, in-vitro and in-vivo methods were used. In the Pylorus ligation-induced gastric ulcer model, 400mg/kg M. tinctoria was significantly different from the standard and revealed a 4.820±00** ulcer index, whereas 400mg/kg V.negundo revealed a 4.980±04*** ulcer index. At the dose of 400 mg/kg of M. tinctoria ulcer index observed 0.46 ± 0.02 and V.negundo was 0.49 ± 0.21 substantially reduced the effect of ulcers and the ulcer index observed in swimming stress-induced ulcers. M. tinctoria and V.negundo observed 4.1±0.37 and 4.5±0.19 ulcer index in NSAIDs-induced stomach ulcers in rats administered by oral route at the dose of 400 mg/kg. With an IC50 of 35 µg/ml, M. tinctoria significantly reduced ATP hydrolysis by goat stomach ATPase. For the positive control group, Omeprazole (10-50µg/ml) was used to lower Hydrogen Potassium ATPase activity, with an IC50 of 29 µg/ml. In comparison to V.negundo, pharmacological studies show that M. tinctoria extract (MTE) successfully protects the stomach mucosa from ulcers generated by different agents. %U https://environmentaljournals.org/article/a-systematic-comparative-study-of-morinda-tinctoria-and-vitex-negundo-for-their-anti-ulcerogenic-pot-esmokebwjmfdixh
