Abstract:
Infection with Helicobacter (H.) pylori is strongly associated with duodenal and gastric ulcers. Substantial epidemiological data has revealed that high rates of H. pylori infection might be related to high rates of gastric cancer. In this study, a medicinal herbal extracts were examined and screened for anti-H. pylori activity. Seventy percent ethanol was used for herbal extraction. For anti-H. pylori activity study, the inhibitory zone tests with 74 herbal compounds were conducted. As the results, thirteen compounds including Cinnamomi Cortex, Magnoliae Cortex and Meliae Fructus were revealed strong anti-H. pylori activities.
