The anti‐ulcer activity of extracts from Dittrichia viscosa (L.) W. Greuter by means of different experimental gastric ulcer models was investigated. The results of this report indicate that the antiulcerogenic effect of Dittrichia viscosa lies mainly in its flavonoid fraction (the etheral extract, 1,14%), which afforded the predominant flavonoid, quercetin. This flavonol exercised a significant curative effect mainly in prolonged treatment of induced ulcers in rats.
