Abstract | | | | The effect of bark extracts of Boswellia serrata (Family Burseraceae) was evaluated in aspirin induced ulceration (200mg/kg) in albino rats. Antiulcer activity was evaluated by measuring ulcer index and percentage of ulcer healing. The petroleum ether (250mg/kg) and aqueous extracts (250mg/kg) of bark of Boswellia serrata plant showed significant antiulcer activity as evidenced by the data obtained. Histopathological findings also con-firm the antiulcer activity of Boswellia serrata bark extracts in albino rats.
