Gastric ulcers are prevalent conditions resulting from disrupting the stomach’sprotective lining, with a global lifetime risk ranging between 5-10%. Various factors contribute to ulcer formation, including Helicobacter pylori infection, prolonged NSAID use, and unhealthy lifestyle. Complications like perforation and gastric obstruction can occur, and ethanol consumption exacerbates the condition by promoting oxidative stress and inflammation through increased nitric oxide production. Current treatment approaches, such as proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) and histamine H2 receptor antagonists (H2RAs), have limitations, such as diarrhea, constipation, headaches, and gastrointestinal infections. Patients on long-term PPI therapy are required to take calcium supplements to prevent the risk of fractures in older adults. Given these challenges, there is increasing interest in natural products as alternative therapies. An earlier study of Etlingera elatior (torch ginger) has shown promising anti-ulcer effects due to its rich flavonoids, anthocyanins, and phenolics, which contribute to anti-inflammatory and antioxidant activity. This study aims to explore the anti-ulcer mechanisms of E. elatior through comprehensive in-silico, in-vitro, and in-vivo approaches, providing scientific insights for potential natural ulcer treatments. Etlingera elatior inflorescence extract (EEIE) was obtained through a maceration process. Inflorescence was dried using an oven at 45˚C. After drying, the inflorescence was ground into powder and then extracted at room temperature with 70% ethanol solvent for 3 × 24 hours. The resulting macerate was filtered and the solvent was removed using a rotary evaporator at 50˚C until it exhibited a reddish hue and had a delicate thick consistency, emitting a distinct scent reminiscent of ginger. The yield of the EEIE was 20.2%, respectively. The extract was analyzed for its nutritional composition, vitamin C, total anthocyanins, cyanidin 3-O glucoside (C3G), quercetin, and rutin contents, to ensure its quality. Nutritional composition showed that EEIE contained 20.41% water, 14.37% ash, 0.99% fat, 21.81% crude protein, and 38.27% carbohydrate. The total anthocyanin and vitamin C levels were 47.535 mg/100 g and 985.250 mg/100 g, respectively. C3G, quercetin, and rutin content in EEIE determined using the standard addition method, were 0.0007% w/w, 0.004% w/w, and 0.0005% w/w, respectively. The phytoconstituents of EEIE, as described in previous studies, were evaluated for their drug-likeness and ADMET (absorption, distribution, metabolism, excretion, and toxicity) properties. Molecular docking simulations assessed the binding mode and affinity, focusing on binding energy, inhibition constant, hydrogen bonding, and hydrophobic interactions. The top docked poses underwent 100 ns molecular dynamics (MD) simulations using GROMACS software to analyze stability through RMSD, RMSF, SASA, radius of gyration, and interaction dynamics. Among ten phytoconstituents, cyanidin 3-o-glucoside, cyanidin, demethoxycurcumin, and quercetin exhibited the strongest binding affinity to human iNOS with binding energies -8.10, -7.64, 8.49, 7.44 kcal/mol, respectively. All flavonoids occupied the catalytic site by interacting with Glu377 and Trp372, similar to known inhibitors SEITU and quinazoline. The drug-likeness and ADMET properties indicated that most flavonoids adhered to Lipinski’s Rule of Five (Ro5) with minimal violations. The RMSD and RMSF graphs from the MD simulation confirmed the stability of the cyanidin 3-o-glucoside/iNOS complexes. To assess the gastroprotective effects of EEIE, rats were induced with 70% ethanol (1 ml/animal per oral or 5 ml/kg) on the final day of treatment (day 10), excluding the normal control group. The percentage of weight gain, feed residues, stomach and intestine ratios, and ulcer index were analyzed using SPSS. The results showed that EEIE provided significant stomach protection, with the 750 mg/kg BW dose offering 100% protection, similar to the positive control (p -
