Determination of Indomethacin-Induced Gastric Ulcer Healing Effects of Several Propolis Extracts and Compared with Omeprazole

Year 2025, Volume: 8 Issue: 1, 24 - 36, 20.06.2025

Abstract

Gastric ulcers are an essential problem for both human and animal health. Several medications are used to treat peptic ulcers. Long-term use of these drugs also causes various complications. For this reason, using natural products to treat ulcers has become very popular in recent years. Propolis is an important bee product used in apitherapy, which has various biological activities due to its many active ingredients. Due to its phenolic compounds, it is effective in preventing ulcer formation and accelerating healing. Varying the propolis content according to the solvent used naturally alters its efficiency. This study aimed to compare with omeprazole and to investigate the efficacy of hydro-alcoholic, water, DMSO, and olive oil propolis extracts in a mouse model of indomethacin-induced gastric ulcer. On histopathological examination, epithelial loss, erosion, bleeding, oedema, and inflammatory cell infiltration were scored separately and concerning the overall clinical score. Olive oil and DMSO extracts of propolis were found to be almost as effective as omeprazole. In contrast, water extract was found to be weak, and hydro-alcoholic extract had no effect, which even worsened some parameters. The results showed that the ulcer healing potential of propolis could be statistically different depending on the solvent. It was also found that DMSO and olive oil extracts of propolis have the potential to heal peptic ulcers.

Çeşitli Propolis Ekstraktlarının İndometasin ile İndüklenen Mide Ülserine Karşı İyileştirici Etkilerinin Belirlenmesi ve Omeprazol ile Karşılaştırılması

Year 2025, Volume: 8 Issue: 1, 24 - 36, 20.06.2025

Abstract

Gastrik ülser birçok sebeple ortaya çıkan hem insan hem de hayvan sağlığı açısında önemli bir sorundur. Gastrik ülserin medikal tedavisinde farklı ilaçlar kullanılmaktadır. Bu ilaçların uzun süreli kullanımları da çeşitli komplikasyonlar oluşturmaktadır. Bu sebeple son yıllarda ülser iyileşmesinde doğal ürünlerin kullanımı oldukça popüler hale gelmiştir. Bunların içerisinde önemli bir arı ürünü olan ve apiterapide kullanılan propolis gelmektedir. Propolis içerisinde bulundurduğu birçok aktif bileşen nedeniyle farklı biyolojik aktivitelere sahip önemli bir arı ürünüdür. Özellikle içeriğindeki fenolik bileşikler nedeniyle yara iyileşmesi hızlanması ve ülser oluşumunun engellenmesi gibi etkinlik gösterdiği belirlenmiştir. Propolis içeriğinin çözücülere bağlı değişmesi doğal olarak etkinliğinin de değişmesine neden olmaktadır. Bu çalışmanın amacı, indometazin ile indüklenen gastrik ülser fare modelinde hidroalkolik, su, DMSO ve zeytinyağı propolis ekstrelerinin etkinliğini araştırmak ve omeprazol ile karşılaştırmaktır. Histopatolojik incelemede epitel kaybı, erozyon, kanama, ödem ve inflamatuar hücre infiltrasyonu ayrı ayrı ve total klinik skor açısından değerlendirilmiştir. Propolisin zeytinyağı ve DMSO ekstraktları neredeyse omeprazol kadar etkin bulunurken su ekstraktının zayıf, alkol ekstraktının ise etkisinin olmadığı hatta bazı parametreleri daha da kötüleştirdiği belirlenmiştir. Sonuç olarak propolisin çözücüye bağlı ülser iyileştirme potansiyelin istatistiki olarak değişebileceği tespit edilmiştir. Ayrıca propolisin DMSO ve zeytinyağı ekstraktlarının gastrik ülser iyileştirmede potansiyellerinin olduğu belirlenmiştir.
