Abstract

has been used in East Asia as a folk medicine for symptoms such as inflammation, allergy, and gastritis. Administration of extract to pylori-ligated rat stomachs reduces gastric acid secretion and alleviates esophagus damage caused by gastric reflux. Therefore, in this study we aimed to investigate whether extracts inhibit reflux esophagitis by blocking H histamine receptor (HR). Dimaprit, a HR specific agonist, induced intracellular cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) production in U937 cells. Pretreatment with extracts significantly blocked dimaprit-induced cAMP production in a concentration-dependent manner. To extracted with different ethanol concentrations to determine the optimum method. We found that the 70% ethanol extract showed the most potent HR antagonistic effect against dimaprit-induced cAMP production. However, water extract did not show any HR blocking effect. These findings suggest that extracted using ethanol specifically inhibits gastric acid secretion and reduces esophageal injury by blocking HR in a competitive manner. Therefore, extracts may be used in food or medicine to prevent HR-related diseases, such as gastric hyperacidity and reflux esophagitis.
