Anti-ulcer action of Panax japonicus rhizome.
Using HCl/ethanol-induced ulcer in rats as a screening model, an anti-ulcer effect was observed for a methanol extract of Panax japonicus rhizome, saponin fractions and chikusetsusaponin III. Results suggest that the gastric mucous membrane-protective effect of the methanol extract is likely to be due to the crude saponin fraction and chikusetsusaponin III.
