Medicinal plants are being widely used, either as single drug or in combination in health care delivery system. Indian Sarsaparilla, Hemidesmus indicus (Family: Asclepiadaceae) is a commonly known Indian Medicinal Plant, which is widely recognized in traditional systems of Medicine. It contains various phytoconstituents belonging to the category glycosides, flavonoids, tannins, sterols and volatile oils. It has been reported as useful in biliousness, blood diseases, dysentery, diarrhea, respiratory disorders, skin diseases, syphilis, fever, leprosy, leucoderma, leucorrhoea, itching, bronchitis, asthma, eye diseases, epileptic fits in children, kidney and urinary disorders, loss of appetite, burning sensation, dyspepsia, nutritional disorders, ulcer and rheumatism. Several studies are being carried towards its activities like analgesic, anti-inflammatory, antiulcer, hepatoprotective, antioxidant and helicobactericidal properties. In our study we have evaluated antacid activity of sariva (Anantmool) by using In-Vitro method, i.e. ANC (Acid Neutralizing Capacity). This evaluation was done by comparing the ANC of sariva macerated & powdered drug with water as blank & standard drug i.e. NaHCO3. Based on this In-Vitro experiment, we can conclude that, the macerated & powdered drug of sariva (Anantmool) evaluated in this study, varied in potency as measured in terms of their ANC. These results having ** i.e. P < 0.01 & Passed the normality test. However, the present study being in-vitro, the effects of antacid may vary In-Vitro; individual variations also contribute to the ultimate effectiveness of as antacid.

Medicinal plants have been known for millennia as a rich source of traditional therapeutic agents for the prevention of diseases and ailments. The aim of the present study was performed to evaluate the antiulcer activities of hydro-alcoholic extracts of petals of Crocus sativus var. Cashmerianus by in-vitro methods viz. acid neutralizing capacity and H+/K+ - ATPase inhibition activity. In acid neutralizing capacity method, the petals extract significantly reduced acidity to 6.10 at a concentration of 1000 mg/ml as compared to 11.90 with standard 500 mg/ml of Aluminium hydroxide + Magnesium hydroxide combination. However, H+/K+ - ATPase inhibition activity method, petals extract showed maximum percentage inhibition of 70.31 % at the concentration 400µg/ml as compared to 73.82 % with a similar dose of standard Omeprazole. The IC 50 value of petals extract of C. sativus var. cashmerianus is shown 100 µg/ml in comparison with standard omeprazole of 82.5 µg/ml. The study reveals that the petals extract of C. sativus var. cashmerianus may contain compounds possessing acid neutralize and enzyme inhibition activities, thus it can be used as an alternative medicine for gastrointestinal disorders.
