Abstract
Objective To analyze the hepatoprotective effect of the Crossandra infundibuliformis. Methods Hepatotoxicity was induced by carbon tetrachloride. Petroleum ether extract of dried leaves was administrated to mice for 7 days. The hepatoprotective effect of petroleum ether extract was evaluated by the assay of liver function biochemical parameters. Results The result clearly indicates that petroleum ether extract showed significant hepatoprotection when compared with standard Silumarin. Conclusions The petroleum ether extract of the leaves of Crossandra infundibuliformis possess significant acute hepatoprotective activity. Thus further investigation on this species would bring a promising drug for liver disorders.
