Abstract

Nine condensed tannin related compounds isolated from Linderae umbellatae Ramus, (+)-catechin (1), (-)-epicatechin (2), proanthocyanidin B-1 (3), B-2 (4), B-4 (5), trimer A (6), trimer B (7), cinnamtannin B1 (8) and cinnamtannin D1 (9), were tested for their effects on peptic activity and stress-induced gastric lesions in mice. Peptic activity of rat gastric juice was suppressed by 6 and 7 in vitro, and slightly suppressed by 8 and 9. In pylorus-ligated mice, these compounds, except for 4, administered orally exhibited anti-peptic activity. Pretreatments of 4,6 and 7 orally protected mice against stress-induced gastric lesions. Effects of these compounds on digestive systems were dìscussed.
