Gastric ulcer, a chronic disease, has a widespread effect on the global populace. Side effects become an issue with available drugs, so natural products are getting acceptance. A promising nanodrug has been designed with catechin, the primary component of green tea, to offer enhanced potency at a lower dose. Toxicity and efficacy studies on laboratory rats have shown its suitability for biological use. In our experimental model of gastric ulcer in rats, nanocatechin was given as drug. It showed improved absorption and relatively fast healing without any adverse impacts. Molecular-level research demonstrated its role in restoring mitochondrial integrity. Thus, it may be an alternative choice for treating stomach ulcers in the clinical setting.
