Macrotyloma uniflorumhas already shown potent antioxidant activity and a potent antioxidant is obvious to show the healing capability as per as general pharmacology concern. In the pyloric ligation model the untreated control has shown 4.3 m Eq/L of acidity where as the ranitidine treated standard gp shown 2 m Eq/L and Macrotyloma uniflorum has shown 2.8 mEq/L acidity respectively. In the stress induced antiulcer model the activity was more prominent, in the untreated control there was 26 no of sores were present whereas the standard group shown only 1 number of ulcer sore and in the Macrotyloma uniflorum treated group there was 5 number of ulcer sore present.
