ABSTRACT
Hepatotoxicity damage is a common complication because the liver has to detoxicate many toxic
substances. Most of the hepatotoxic chemicals damage cells primarily by producing reactive species which
from covalent bond the lipids of the tissue due to excessive exposure hazardous chemicals like carbon
tetrachloride, alcohol thioacetamide etc. Medicinal plants play a key role in human health care. About
80% of the world population believes in the use of traditional medicine which is based on plant materials.
This review article is based on the recent advancement of herbal drug for liver disorder.
Keywords: Hepatotoxicity, Herbal drugs, Liver disorder
INTRODUCTION
The liver is the largest gland in the body, weighing
between 1 and 2.3 kg. It is situated in the upper
part of the abdominal cavity occupying the greater
part of the right hypochondriac region, part of
the epigastric region, and extending into the
left hypochondriac region. The liver has many
functions any other human organ.[1]
In human
entire blood supply passes through several times a
day, the liver has a vital role in human metabolism,
liver produces and secretes bile, it also produces
prothrombin and fibrinogen, both blood clotting
and heparin, a mucopolysaccharide sulfuric acid
ester that helps to keep blood from clotting within
the circulatory system. The liver has the major role
in the conversion of sugar into glycogen.[1]
Treatment options for common liver diseases such
as cirrhosis, fatty liver, and chronic hepatitis are
often limited in efficacy, carry the risk of adverse
effect, and are often too costly, especially for the
developing world. Hepatotoxicity due to drugs

damage is a common complication because the
liver has to detoxicate many toxic substances.
Most of the hepatotoxic chemicals damage cells
primarily by producing reactive species which
from covalent bond the lipids of the tissue due
to excessive exposure hazardous chemicals like

Medicinal plants play a key role in human health
care. About 80% of the world population beliefs
on the use of traditional medicine which is based
on plant materials. The traditional medicine refers
to a wide range of ancient natural healthcare
practices including folk and tribal practices as well
as Ayurveda, siddha, and Unani it is estimated that
about 7500 plants are used therapeutically mostly
rural and tribal villages of India. The classical
system of medicines such as Ayurveda, Siddha,
Amchi, Unani, and Tibetan use about 1200 plants.[2]
Scientific evaluation of plants has often shown
that active principles in these are responsible for
therapeutic success. A large number of medicinal
plants have been tested and found to contains
active principles with preventive against off variety
of diseases. Hepatoprotective plants possess

opulent chemical constituents such as silymarin,
phyllanthin, and glycyrhizin curcumin.
Recent experience has shown that plant drugs
are relatively non-toxic safe and even free from
serious side effects. There is also concern with
respect numerous well estabilized interactions of
herbs and drugs in consultation with physician,
usage of herbal remedies should be clarified. Some
herbal remedies have the potential to cause adverse
interactions when used in combination with various
prescriptions and over the counter pharmaceuticals
many consumer believe that herbal medicines are
safe because they are natural. This review article
focused on therapeutic potential of medicinal
plants have hepatoprotective properties.[3]
HEPATOTOXICITY
Most often, hepatic injury is initiated by the
bioactivation of drugs to chemically reactive
metabolites which interact with cellular
macromolecules such as proteins, lipids, and
nucleic acids, leading to protein dysfunction, lipid
peroxidation, DNA damage, and oxidative stress.
In addition, these reactive metabolites may
stimulate the disruption of ionic gradients and
intracellular calcium stores, which result in
mitochondrial dysfunction and loss of energy
production. Activation of some cytochrome
P450 enzymes, for example, CYP2E1 also cause
oxidative stress.[4]
The accumulation of bile acid
in the liver due to injury to the liver and bile
duct cells, can promote further liver damage.
The culmination of this imbalance in cellular
activity can lead to cell death and ultimately
liver failure. Hepatocyte dysfunction can lead to
immunological responses. Signals that encourage
the activation of other cells, notably those of
the innate immune repertoire, such as kupffer
cells, natural killer cells, and natural killer
T-cells, are released in response to stress and
hepatic injury. By generating pro-inflammatory
mediators and secreting chemokines to further
entice inflammatory cells to the liver, these cells
facilitate the course of liver injury.
Ithasbeendemonstratedthatinflammatorycytokines
released after hepatic injury, such as tumor necrosis
factor (TNF), interferon (IFN), and interleukin
(IL)-1, actively encourage tissue damage. In
contrast, the main source of IL-10, IL-6, and certain
prostaglandins, all of which have hepatoprotective
properties, is innate immune cells.[5]
PHYTOCONSTITUENTS WITH
HEPATOPROTECTIVE POTENTIALS
Silymarin[6]
Chemical formula -C25
H [Figure 5]
• Synonyms - Milk thistle, marian thistle, mary
thistle
• Biological source - it is extracted from the seed
and fruits of Silybum marianum (milk thistle)
[Figure 2]
• Familly - Compositae
• Phytoconstituents - silybin or silybinin,
silydianin and silychristin
• Uses – hepatoprotection, antiinflammation,
antioxidation, antifibrotic activity.
All of the isomers, that constitute silymarin,
silybin is the most active [Figure 1]. Silymarin and
silybin have been found to provide cytoprotection
and above all, hepatoprotection. Silymarin has
been found to cureb zvarious liver disorders as it
has established the efficacy in restoration of liver
function and regenartion of liver cells.

Machanism of action of silymarin[4]
As a hepatoprotective drug, silymarin has been
reported to possess multiple mechanism of
actions against different hepatotoxic agents.[5]
The
antioxidant property and cell regenerating functions
as a result of increased protein synthesis are
considered as most importantAs a hepatoprotective
drug, silymarin has been reported to possess
multiple mechanism of actions against different
hepatotoxic agents The antioxidant property
and cell regenerating functions as a result of
increased protein synthesis are considered as most
important actions. Silymarin or S. marianum has
the antioxidant activity Free radicals, including
superoxide radical, marianum has the antioxidant
activity. Free radicals, including superoxide radical
hydroxyl radical hydrogen peroxide and lipid
peroxide radicals have been implicated in liver
diseases.
These reactive oxygen species (ROS) are produced
as a normal consequence of biochemical processes
in the body and as a result of increased exposure
to xenobiotics. The mechanism of free radical
damage include ROS induced peroxidation of
polyunsaturated fatty acid in the cell membrane
bilayer, which causes a chain reaction of lipid
peroxidation, thus damaging the cellular membrane
and causing further oxidation of membrane lipids
and proteins. Subsequently cell contents, including
DNA, RNA and other cellular components are
damaged.
The cytoprotective effects of silymarin are mainly
attributable to its antioxidant and free radical
scavenging properties. Silymarin can also interact
directly with cell membrane components to prevent
any abnormalities in the content of lipid fraction
responsible for maintaining normal fluidity.[3]
The
stimulation of protein synthesis is an important
step in the repair of hepatic injury, and is essential
for restoring the structural proteins and enzymes
damaged by hepatotoxins.
Overall, the hepatoprotection provided by silymarin
appears to rest on four actions
(a) activity against lipid peroxidation as a result of
freeradicalscavengingandtheabilitytoincreasethe
cellular content of GSH; (b) ability to regulate the
membranepermeability and to increase membrane
stability in the presence of xenobiotic damage;
(c) capacity to regulate the nuclear expression by
means of a steroid-like effect; and (d) inhibition
of the transformation of stellate hepatocytes into
myofibroblasts, which are collagen fibers leading
to cirrhosis.
Silybinin probably acts not only on the cell
membrane, but also on the nucleus, where it
appeared to increase ribosomal protein synthesis by
stimulating RNA works by acting as an antioxidant
that prevents chainrupture.
Silybinin significantly increased the creation
of ribosomes and DNA synthesis in addition
to protein synthesis in in vivo and in vitro
experiments conducted in the liver of rats from
which part of the organ had been removed. The
hepatic cytochrome P450 (CYP) detoxification
system (phase I metabolism) can be inhibited by
silymarin. Recently, it was demonstrated in mice
that silybinin can block a variety of hepatic CYP
enzyme activity. This effect could explain some
of the hepatoprotective activities of silymarin,
especially against the intoxicationdue to Amanita
phalloides.
Glycyrrhizin[9]
Chemical formula – C42

• Synonyms - Glycyrrizin, Liquorice, licorice,
Glycyrrhiza glabra.
• Biological source - Glycyrrhizin is a plant
glycoside extracted from roots of the liquorice
plant (G. glabra) [Figure 4].
• Family - Fabaceae.
• Phytoconstituents - glycyrrhetinic acid
(GA), flavonoids, hydroxyl coumarins, and
b-sitosterol, isoliquiritin.
• Uses - hepatoprotective effect, anti- ulcer,
anti- obesity, anti- diabetics etc.
Glycyrrhizin is the major active constituent of
licorice root and has been used in traditional
medicine to alleviate bronchitis, gastritis, and
jaundice [Figure 3]. The major constituents are GA,
flavonoids, hydroxyl coumarins, and b-sitosterol.
It is a triterpene glycoside with GA that possesses
a wide range of pharmacological and biological

IJPSCR/Apr-Jun-2023/Vol 3/Issue 2 63
activities. When extracted from the plant, it can be
obtained in the form of ammonium glycyrrhizin
and mono-ammonium glycyrrhizin. Glycyrrhizic
acid has been developed in Japan and China as a
hepatoprotective drug in cases of chronic hepatitis.
From January 2014, glycyrrhizic acid as part of the
licorice extract was approved by the FDA as an
existing food sweetener.
Mechanisms of GA
Inhibition of Hepatic Apoptosis and
Necrosis - TNF-alpha is an important cytokine,
which is a key mediator of hepatic apoptosis and
necrosis in lipopolysaccharide/D-GaAlN-induced
liver failure.[6]
Plasma TNF level is also elevated in
patients with chronic hepatitis caused by hepatitis
B viral and acute alcoholic hepatitis. Therefore,
TNF plays a key role in the pathogenesis of not
only endotoxin-induced experimental liver injury
but also many human liver diseases.
Some observations suggest that broad anti-
inflammatory activity of GA is mediated by
interactionwiththelipidbilayer,therebyattenuating
receptor mediated signaling[3]
GA inhibited the
lytic pathway of the complement system and may
prevent tissue injury caused by the membrane
attack complex. Therefore, GA could be a potent
agent for suppressing complement-dependent
tissue injury in autoimmune and inflammatory
diseases.

Mechanism of action of phyllanthin
The hepatoprotective effect of P. amarus has been
confirmed by numerous studies that show the extract
significantly restores the normal function of the liver
cells, enzymes, and other indicators. In female mice,
carbon tetrachloride (CCl4) administration resulted
in a significant increase in liver and serum alanine
transaminase (ALT), aspartate transaminase (AST),
alkaline phosphatase, and acid phosphatase (ACP),
while total protein content significantly decreased.

Mechanism of action of curcumin
Curcumin and Hepatotoxicity -
In terms of drug toxicity, the liver is often the
targeted organ. The production of ROS and RNS as
the primary events, mitochondrial dysfunction and
lipid dysmetabolism as the principal mechanisms
of drug toxicity can be mentioned.[8]
The main problem with these medications is
the usage of high doses, which usually lead
to hepatotoxicity in humans and experimental
animals.
CURRENT CLINICAL STATUS OF SOME
HEPATOPROTECTIVE MEDICINES
Many herbal preparations which demonstrated
significant hepatoprotective activity in preclinical
studies have been successfully evaluated in
clinical studies on patients suffering from
dysfunctional hepatic system. To determine the
effect of silymarin on the outcome of patients with
cirrhosis, a double blind, prospective, randomized
study was performed in 170 patients with cirrhosis.
87 patients received 140 mg silymarin 3 times daily
whereas 83 received placebo. All patients received
the treatment for 2 years. The 4-year survival rate
was 58% in silymarin-treated patients and 39%
in the placebo group indicating effectiveness of
silymarin treatment.[20]
In a 6-month double blind clinical trial the effects
of silymarin therapy on liver function tests, serum
procollagen III peptide level and liver histology
was studied in 36 patients with chronic alcoholic
liver disease.[20]
During silymarin treatment serum
bilirubin, ALT and AST values normalized, while
procollagen III peptide level decreased. The
histological alterations showed an improvement in
thesilymaringroup,whileremainedunchangedinthe
placebo group. These results indicated that silymarin
improves liver functions in alcoholic patients.
The intervention consisted of daily administration
of 140 mg of silymarin. There was a reduction
in indirect bilirubin among those assigned to
silymarin.
Efforts have been made to study the effect of
silymarin treatment in patients with chronic
hepatitis C. These results suggest that silymarin

may have a protective effect in the inflammatory
response to HCV.
To validate the claims of Liv-52 being a potent
hepatoprotective several clinical studies have been
conducted. The efficacy of Liv-52 was determined
on liver cirrhotic patients, a randomized, double
blind, and placebo-controlled study was conducted
in 36 cirrhotic patients in Tehran Hepatic Center.
The efficacy of Liv-52 on liver cirrhosis outcomes
was compared with the placebo for 6 months
which are listed in Table 1.[21]
Results of this study conclude that Liv-52 possess
hepatoprotective effect in cirrhotic patients In one
retrospective study, effect of Liv-52 on 19 patients
with alcoholic liver damage was investigated. It
was found that administration of Liv-52 improved
the subjective condition and clinical parameters in
patients with liver damage. No undesirable side-
effects were detected even after 1 year of treatment.
The effectiveness of P. amarus in treatment of
hepatitis has been demonstrated in a randomized
study where 35 patients with chronic viral
hepatitis B were treated with P. amarus
derivative for 3 months in the treatment group
while another 25 patients were treated with
recombinant human IFNα-1b for 3 months as
control. Effective rate in the treatment group
was 83.3%. The normalization rates of ALT
and bilirubin in the treatment group were
significantly higher than that in the control.
The negative conversion rates of HBeAg and
HBV-DNA in the treatment group were 42.3%
and 47.8%, showing no significant difference
from the control.[22]
It is indicated that P. amarus derivative has
remarkable effect for chronic viral hepatitis B in
recovery of liver function and inhibition of the
replication of HBV.[22]
There are several herbal
preparations which are used as hepatoprotective
drugs worldwide, some of which are listed in

CONCLUSION
Herbal medicines derived from plant extracts
are being increasingly utilized to treat a wide
variety of clinical diseases, with large efforts
being made to elucidate their modes of action.
Large sections of patients with liver disease use
botanicals. Future efforts will have to implement
extensive methodological improvements to
separate the real therapeutic value of these agents
from unsubstantiated hopes associated with them.
The active molecules must be isolated and tested
through well designed experiments and finally in
randomized, placebo-controlled studies to enable
rational clinical use of the agents. There is a huge
demand for both experimental and clinical research
to validate the potential of herbal drugs and
rigorous scientific testing along the principles of
evidence-based medicine will help herbal medicine
to become a very justifiable scientific treatment
regime.

Recent Advancement of Herbal Drug on Liver Disorder

  • 1. © 2023, IJPSCR. All Rights Reserved 60 REVIEW ARTICLE Recent Advancement of Herbal Drug on Liver Disorder Kanhaiyalal Kumawat* Department of B. Pharmacy, B.R. Nahata College of Pharmacy, Mandsaur University, Mandsaur, Madhya Pradesh, India Received: 07-03-2023 Revised: 26-03-2023 Accepted: 18-04-2023 ABSTRACT Hepatotoxicity damage is a common complication because the liver has to detoxicate many toxic substances. Most of the hepatotoxic chemicals damage cells primarily by producing reactive species which from covalent bond the lipids of the tissue due to excessive exposure hazardous chemicals like carbon tetrachloride, alcohol thioacetamide etc. Medicinal plants play a key role in human health care. About 80% of the world population believes in the use of traditional medicine which is based on plant materials. This review article is based on the recent advancement of herbal drug for liver disorder. Keywords: Hepatotoxicity, Herbal drugs, Liver disorder INTRODUCTION The liver is the largest gland in the body, weighing between 1 and 2.3 kg. It is situated in the upper part of the abdominal cavity occupying the greater part of the right hypochondriac region, part of the epigastric region, and extending into the left hypochondriac region. The liver has many functions any other human organ.[1] In human entire blood supply passes through several times a day, the liver has a vital role in human metabolism, liver produces and secretes bile, it also produces prothrombin and fibrinogen, both blood clotting and heparin, a mucopolysaccharide sulfuric acid ester that helps to keep blood from clotting within the circulatory system. The liver has the major role in the conversion of sugar into glycogen.[1] Treatment options for common liver diseases such as cirrhosis, fatty liver, and chronic hepatitis are often limited in efficacy, carry the risk of adverse effect, and are often too costly, especially for the developing world. Hepatotoxicity due to drugs *Corresponding Author: Kanhaiyalal Kumawat, E-mail: kanhaiyalalkumawat8349@gmail.com appears most common contributing factor. Liver damage is a common complication because the liver has to detoxicate many toxic substances. Most of the hepatotoxic chemicals damage cells primarily by producing reactive species which from covalent bond the lipids of the tissue due to excessive exposure hazardous chemicals like carbon tetrachloride, alcohol thioacetamide etc. Medicinal plants play a key role in human health care. About 80% of the world population beliefs on the use of traditional medicine which is based on plant materials. The traditional medicine refers to a wide range of ancient natural healthcare practices including folk and tribal practices as well as Ayurveda, siddha, and Unani it is estimated that about 7500 plants are used therapeutically mostly rural and tribal villages of India. The classical system of medicines such as Ayurveda, Siddha, Amchi, Unani, and Tibetan use about 1200 plants.[2] Scientific evaluation of plants has often shown that active principles in these are responsible for therapeutic success. A large number of medicinal plants have been tested and found to contains active principles with preventive against off variety of diseases.

Recent experience has shown that plant drugs are relatively non-toxic safe and even free from serious side effects. There is also concern with respect numerous well estabilized interactions of herbs and drugs in consultation with physician, usage of herbal remedies should be clarified. Some herbal remedies have the potential to cause adverse interactions when used in combination with various prescriptions and over the counter pharmaceuticals many consumer believe that herbal medicines are safe because they are natural. This review article focused on therapeutic potential of medicinal plants have hepatoprotective properties.[3] HEPATOTOXICITY Most often, hepatic injury is initiated by the bioactivation of drugs to chemically reactive metabolites which interact with cellular macromolecules such as proteins, lipids, and nucleic acids, leading to protein dysfunction, lipid peroxidation, DNA damage, and oxidative stress. In addition, these reactive metabolites may stimulate the disruption of ionic gradients and intracellular calcium stores, which result in mitochondrial dysfunction and loss of energy production. Activation of some cytochrome P450 enzymes, for example, CYP2E1 also cause oxidative stress.[4] The accumulation of bile acid in the liver due to injury to the liver and bile duct cells, can promote further liver damage. The culmination of this imbalance in cellular activity can lead to cell death and ultimately liver failure. Hepatocyte dysfunction can lead to immunological responses. Signals that encourage the activation of other cells, notably those of the innate immune repertoire, such as kupffer cells, natural killer cells, and natural killer T-cells, are released in response to stress and hepatic injury. By generating pro-inflammatory mediators and secreting chemokines to further entice inflammatory cells to the liver, these cells facilitate the course of liver injury. Ithasbeendemonstratedthatinflammatorycytokines released after hepatic injury, such as tumor necrosis factor (TNF), interferon (IFN), and interleukin (IL)-1, actively encourage tissue damage. In contrast, the main source of IL-10, IL-6, and certain prostaglandins, all of which have hepatoprotective properties, is innate immune cells.[5] PHYTOCONSTITUENTS WITH HEPATOPROTECTIVE POTENTIALS Silymarin[6] Chemical formula -C25 H [Figure 5] • Synonyms - Milk thistle, marian thistle, mary thistle • Biological source - it is extracted from the seed and fruits of Silybum marianum (milk thistle) [Figure 2] • Familly - Compositae • Phytoconstituents - silybin or silybinin, silydianin and silychristin • Uses – hepatoprotection, antiinflammation, antioxidation, antifibrotic activity. All of the isomers, that constitute silymarin, silybin is the most active [Figure 1]. Silymarin and silybin have been found to provide cytoprotection and above all, hepatoprotection. Silymarin has been found to cureb zvarious liver disorders as it has established the efficacy in restoration of liver function and regenartion of liver cells.

  • 3. Kumawat: Recent Advancement of Herbal Drug on Liver Disorder IJPSCR/Apr-Jun-2023/Vol 3/Issue 2 62 Machanism of action of silymarin[4] As a hepatoprotective drug, silymarin has been reported to possess multiple mechanism of actions against different hepatotoxic agents.[5] The antioxidant property and cell regenerating functions as a result of increased protein synthesis are considered as most importantAs a hepatoprotective drug, silymarin has been reported to possess multiple mechanism of actions against different hepatotoxic agents The antioxidant property and cell regenerating functions as a result of increased protein synthesis are considered as most important actions. Silymarin or S. marianum has the antioxidant activity Free radicals, including superoxide radical, marianum has the antioxidant activity. Free radicals, including superoxide radical hydroxyl radical hydrogen peroxide and lipid peroxide radicals have been implicated in liver diseases. These reactive oxygen species (ROS) are produced as a normal consequence of biochemical processes in the body and as a result of increased exposure to xenobiotics. The mechanism of free radical damage include ROS induced peroxidation of polyunsaturated fatty acid in the cell membrane bilayer, which causes a chain reaction of lipid peroxidation, thus damaging the cellular membrane and causing further oxidation of membrane lipids and proteins. Subsequently cell contents, including DNA, RNA and other cellular components are damaged. The cytoprotective effects of silymarin are mainly attributable to its antioxidant and free radical scavenging properties. Silymarin can also interact directly with cell membrane components to prevent any abnormalities in the content of lipid fraction responsible for maintaining normal fluidity.[3] The stimulation of protein synthesis is an important step in the repair of hepatic injury, and is essential for restoring the structural proteins and enzymes damaged by hepatotoxins. Overall, the hepatoprotection provided by silymarin appears to rest on four actions (a) activity against lipid peroxidation as a result of freeradicalscavengingandtheabilitytoincreasethe cellular content of GSH; (b) ability to regulate the membranepermeability and to increase membrane stability in the presence of xenobiotic damage; (c) capacity to regulate the nuclear expression by means of a steroid-like effect; and (d) inhibition of the transformation of stellate hepatocytes into myofibroblasts, which are collagen fibers leading to cirrhosis. Silybinin probably acts not only on the cell membrane, but also on the nucleus, where it appeared to increase ribosomal protein synthesis by stimulating RNA works by acting as an antioxidant that prevents chainrupture. Silybinin significantly increased the creation of ribosomes and DNA synthesis in addition to protein synthesis in in vivo and in vitro experiments conducted in the liver of rats from which part of the organ had been removed. The hepatic cytochrome P450 (CYP) detoxification system (phase I metabolism) can be inhibited by silymarin. Recently, it was demonstrated in mice that silybinin can block a variety of hepatic CYP enzyme activity. This effect could explain some of the hepatoprotective activities of silymarin, especially against the intoxicationdue to Amanita phalloides.

When extracted from the plant, it can be obtained in the form of ammonium glycyrrhizin and mono-ammonium glycyrrhizin. Glycyrrhizic acid has been developed in Japan and China as a hepatoprotective drug in cases of chronic hepatitis. From January 2014, glycyrrhizic acid as part of the licorice extract was approved by the FDA as an existing food sweetener. Mechanisms of GA Inhibition of Hepatic Apoptosis and Necrosis - TNF-alpha is an important cytokine, which is a key mediator of hepatic apoptosis and necrosis in lipopolysaccharide/D-GaAlN-induced liver failure.[6] Plasma TNF level is also elevated in patients with chronic hepatitis caused by hepatitis B viral and acute alcoholic hepatitis. Therefore, TNF plays a key role in the pathogenesis of not only endotoxin-induced experimental liver injury but also many human liver diseases. Some observations suggest that broad anti- inflammatory activity of GA is mediated by interactionwiththelipidbilayer,therebyattenuating receptor mediated signaling[3] GA inhibited the lytic pathway of the complement system and may prevent tissue injury caused by the membrane attack complex. Therefore, GA could be a potent agent for suppressing complement-dependent tissue injury in autoimmune and inflammatory diseases. Phyllanthin[12] Chemical formula - C24 H34 O6 • Biological source – It is obtained from Phyllanthus amarus [Figure 6] • Family - Euphorbiaceae • Phytoconstituents - alkaloids, astragalin, brevifolin, ellagitannins, amariin, repandusinic acid, phyllanthusiin D gallocatechins, geraniin, hypophyllanthin, lignans, lintetralins, lupeols, nirurin, phyllanthin, phyllanthine and phyllanthenol.Phyllanthinandhypophyllanthin • Uses - antiseptic, diuretic, antiviral, anti- diabetic, hypotensive and antipyretic, hepatoprotective effect. Mechanism of action of phyllanthin The hepatoprotective effect of P. amarus has been confirmed by numerous studies that show the extract significantly restores the normal function of the liver cells, enzymes, and other indicators. In female mice, carbon tetrachloride (CCl4) administration resulted in a significant increase in liver and serum alanine transaminase (ALT), aspartate transaminase (AST), alkaline phosphatase, and acid phosphatase (ACP), while total protein content significantly decreased. Krithika and Verma determined the hepatoprotective activity of P. amarus extract against CCl4- Curcumin[15] Chemical structure - C21 H20 O6 [Figure 7] • Synonyms - turmeric yellow, kurkum, haldi, Indian saffron • Biological source - it is extracted from the rhizomes of Curcuma longa (turmeric) plant [Figure 8] • Family - Zingiberaceae • P h y t o c o n s t i t u e n t s - C u r c u m i n , demethoxycurcuminand,bisdemethoxycurcumin collectively known as curcuminoids • Uses - Anti-inflammatory, Antioxidant, Anti- tumor, anti-cancer Anti- bacterial, anti-fungal, antiprotozoal.

Kumawat: Recent Advancement of Herbal Drug on Liver Disorder IJPSCR/Apr-Jun-2023/Vol 3/Issue 2 64 Mechanism of action of curcumin Curcumin and Hepatotoxicity - In terms of drug toxicity, the liver is often the targeted organ. The production of ROS and RNS as the primary events, mitochondrial dysfunction and lipid dysmetabolism as the principal mechanisms of drug toxicity can be mentioned.[8] The main problem with these medications is the usage of high doses, which usually lead to hepatotoxicity in humans and experimental animals. CURRENT CLINICAL STATUS OF SOME HEPATOPROTECTIVE MEDICINES Many herbal preparations which demonstrated significant hepatoprotective activity in preclinical studies have been successfully evaluated in clinical studies on patients suffering from dysfunctional hepatic system. To determine the effect of silymarin on the outcome of patients with cirrhosis, a double blind, prospective, randomized study was performed in 170 patients with cirrhosis. 87 patients received 140 mg silymarin 3 times daily whereas 83 received placebo. All patients received the treatment for 2 years. The 4-year survival rate was 58% in silymarin-treated patients and 39% in the placebo group indicating effectiveness of silymarin treatment.[20] In a 6-month double blind clinical trial the effects of silymarin therapy on liver function tests, serum procollagen III peptide level and liver histology was studied in 36 patients with chronic alcoholic liver disease.[20] During silymarin treatment serum bilirubin, ALT and AST values normalized, while procollagen III peptide level decreased. The histological alterations showed an improvement in thesilymaringroup,whileremainedunchangedinthe placebo group. These results indicated that silymarin improves liver functions in alcoholic patients. The intervention consisted of daily administration of 140 mg of silymarin. There was a reduction in indirect bilirubin among those assigned to silymarin. Efforts have been made to study the effect of silymarin treatment in patients with chronic hepatitis C. These results suggest that silymarin Figure 6: (a-c) Phyllanthus amarus[14] Figure 5: Chemical structure of phyllanthin[13] Figure 8: Turmeric[17] Figure 7: Chemical structure of curcumin[16] c b a

To validate the claims of Liv-52 being a potent hepatoprotective several clinical studies have been conducted. The efficacy of Liv-52 was determined on liver cirrhotic patients, a randomized, double blind, and placebo-controlled study was conducted in 36 cirrhotic patients in Tehran Hepatic Center. The efficacy of Liv-52 on liver cirrhosis outcomes was compared with the placebo for 6 months which are listed in Table 1.[21] Results of this study conclude that Liv-52 possess hepatoprotective effect in cirrhotic patients In one retrospective study, effect of Liv-52 on 19 patients with alcoholic liver damage was investigated. It was found that administration of Liv-52 improved the subjective condition and clinical parameters in patients with liver damage. No undesirable side- effects were detected even after 1 year of treatment. The effectiveness of P. amarus in treatment of hepatitis has been demonstrated in a randomized study where 35 patients with chronic viral hepatitis B were treated with P. amarus derivative for 3 months in the treatment group while another 25 patients were treated with recombinant human IFNα-1b for 3 months as control. Effective rate in the treatment group was 83.3%. The normalization rates of ALT and bilirubin in the treatment group were significantly higher than that in the control. The negative conversion rates of HBeAg and HBV-DNA in the treatment group were 42.3% and 47.8%, showing no significant difference from the control.[22] It is indicated that P. amarus derivative has remarkable effect for chronic viral hepatitis B in recovery of liver function and inhibition of the replication of HBV.[22] There are several herbal preparations which are used as hepatoprotective drugs worldwide, some of which are listed in Table 2.

  • 7. Kumawat: Recent Advancement of Herbal Drug on Liver Disorder IJPSCR/Apr-Jun-2023/Vol 3/Issue 2 66 CONCLUSION Herbal medicines derived from plant extracts are being increasingly utilized to treat a wide variety of clinical diseases, with large efforts being made to elucidate their modes of action. Large sections of patients with liver disease use botanicals. Future efforts will have to implement extensive methodological improvements to separate the real therapeutic value of these agents from unsubstantiated hopes associated with them. The active molecules must be isolated and tested through well designed experiments and finally in randomized, placebo-controlled studies to enable rational clinical use of the agents. There is a huge demand for both experimental and clinical research to validate the potential of herbal drugs and rigorous scientific testing along the principles of evidence-based medicine will help herbal medicine to become a very justifiable scientific treatment regime.
