Anti-ulcer activities of petroleum ether, chloroform, Ethanolic extract of Amaranthus spinosus leaf were tested for anti-gastric ulcer activity in Shay rat model. Oral dose of 400mg/kg of ethanolic extract reduced the ulceration and with 800mg/kg body weight ethanolic extract there is the complete absence of ulceration. The anti-gastric activity of ethanolic extract of A.spinosus 800mg/kg body weight was found to be equal to the effect produced by 2mg/kg of Famotidine orally. The reduction in gastric activity was more with Famotidine and the reduction in peptic activity is more with ethanolic extract of A.spinosus . All extracts are safe up to 4000mg/kg. The result of petroleum ether, chloroform and aqueous extract in respect of anti-ulcer activity are less prominent. Keywords: Amaranthus spinosus, Shay rat model, Famotidine, Peptic activity
