Thirty male Wistar rats were divided into six groups: normal (CMC 0.5%), negative control (CMC 0.5%), positive control (omeprazole 20 mg/kg bw), treatment group (ethanol M. calabura L. fruits extract): I (100 mg/kg bw), II (200 mg/kg bw), and III (300 mg/kg bw) and given orally once a day for 9 days. On the 10th day, aspirin at a dose of 500 mg/kg bw was given to all groups except the normal group. Four hours after induction, all animals were sacrificed. Preventive effect against stomach ulcer were determined by calculating the index of ulcer and histopathological examination. Ulcer index of M. calabura fruits extract at all doses were different than negative group, although not significant (p>0.05). Histopathological examination of M. calabura extract at a dose of 300 mg/kg bw showed few inflammatory cells and congestion compared with the other treatment group. In our finding, ethanol M. calabura L. fruist extract at a dose 300mg/kg bw obtained the best activity in preventive of gastric ulcer.
