Methanol extract was administered by gavage one hour before ethanol to the different groups at a dose corresponding of 100,250 and 500 mg/kg body weight. The control group received normal saline in comparable volume (10ml/kg body weight) by the same route. The anti-inflammatory activity of the tested extract was evaluated in adult wistar rats by the egg albumin induced paw edema method. &lt;strong&gt;Results:&lt;/strong&gt; A significant reduction (&lt;em&gt;p&lt;/em&gt; &amp;lt;0.001) was observed in the results of the present study, revealed that methanol extract possessed gastroprotective activity and exerts a topical anti-inflammatory effect &lt;em&gt;in vivo&lt;/em&gt;. &lt;strong&gt;Conclusion:&lt;/strong&gt; These results suggest that methanol extract of &lt;em&gt;Gladiolus segetum&lt;/em&gt; may represent an important clinical alternative in anti-inflammatory and antiulcer genic therapeutics.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">4</style></issue><work-type><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Original Article</style></work-type><section><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">758</style></section><auth-address><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Salah Eddine Marref*, Naima Benkiki, Mohamed Akram Melakhessou, Soumia Bouzidi &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
