Summary, etc. |
<p style="text-align: justify;">The leaves of <em>Ficus semicordata </em>Buch-Ham.ex Sm., locally in North India is referred to as <em>Bhumi udumbara </em>have been reported for their traditional use to cure jaundice and various liver ailments. Despite its extensive usage in northeastern states of India, there is a lack of scientific substantiation on the safety and pharmacotherapeutic efficacy. The present study was carried out to evaluate the hepatoprotective activity of <em>F. semicordata </em>(FS) leaves aqueous extract on HepG2 cell line to validate its ethnic claim in the management of liver disorders. D-galactosamine induced HepG2 cell toxicity model was used to evaluate its hepatoprotective activity. The cells were treated with different concentrations of aqueous extracts and dexamethasone as a standard. MTT assay was performed to determine the % inhibition of hepatotoxicity. The result indicates that the toxicity induced by D-galactosamine is reduced by FS<em> </em>aqueous extract group which is better when compared with the standard drug. This study revealed the hepatoprotective potential of <em>F. semicordata </em>on HepG2 cell line</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><em>.</em></p> |
