| Summary: | The anti-ulcer activities along with chemical identification of purified Shankha Bhasma
(SBM) or calcined conch-shell was undertaken. Shankha Bhasma (SBM) was prepared by traditional
process used in India. The chemical composition of SBM was studied by atomic absorption
spectrometry and infra-red spectral analysis. Acute oral toxicity of SBM was done in Swiss mice.
SBM (25 mg/kg and 50 mg/kg) was studied for anti-ulcer effect on ethanol induced and pylorus
ligature induced model in Wistar rats. SBM showed significant (P<0.001) positive results in both the
models in comparison with respective control and standard control (omeprazole 20 mg/kg and
ranitidine 50 mg/kg). |
