摘要

Gastric ulcers result from an imbalance between aggressive factors and protective mechanisms within the gastric mucosa. This study evaluates the antioxidative and gastroprotective effects of green-synthesized silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) using Artocarpus lakoocha leaf extract (ALE) against ethanol-induced gastric injury in mice. Nanoparticles were characterized by UV–Vis (λmax 428 nm), FE-SEM (44–66 nm), FTIR, XRD, EDX, and TGA, with a zeta potential of − 25.6 mV confirming stability. In vitro, ALAgNPs reduced A-549 lung cancer cell viability in a dose-dependent manner (IC₅₀ ≈ 40 µg/mL). In vivo, ethanol markedly increased gastric ulcer index (3.60 ± 0.06) and MDA levels, while reducing antioxidant enzymes. Pretreatment with ALAgNPs (5 and 20 mg/kg) significantly decreased ulcer index to 2.20 ± 0.23 and 1.46 ± 0.60, corresponding to 54% and 65% inhibition indicating selective therapeutic potential. Ethanol exposure significantly increased MDA, TNF-α and IL-1β, while reducing CAT, SOD and GSH. Our findings indicated that MDA levels and pro-inflammatory cytokines TNF-α and IL-1β were elevated in the ethanol group, whereas diminished antioxidant capacity was observed. ALAgNPs and ranitidine significantly reduced MDA, TNF-α, and IL-1β levels while restoring GSH, CAT, SOD, gastric mucus, and antioxidant potential. Histopathology confirmed mucosal protection, reinforcing A. lakoocha derived AgNPs as promising gastroprotective agents with antioxidative and anti-inflammatory properties for ulcer management and cancer cytotoxicity.
