A compound (AC-I) was isolated from Ageratum conyzoides L. leaves. The compound had anti peptic ulcer activity in ethanol induced gastric ulcers and cysteamine induced duodenal ulcers in albino rats. Seasonal variation in concentration of the compound (AC-I) in A. conyzoides L. leaves was studied. Results showed that leaves of A. conyzoides L. for the months of July and August yielded maximum amount of the compound.
