Gastric ulcers are prevalent conditions resulting from disrupting the stomach’s
protective 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,
v
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 -
