The aim of the present study was to investigate the chemical constituents and hepatoprotective effect of Ficus ingens (Miq.) Miq. (Moraceae) extract against carbon tetrachloride-induced acute liver damage in male Wistar albino rats. The ethanol extract of F. ingens, was subjected to phytochemical study. In addition, its acute and sub-chronic toxicities were assessed. Eight compounds were isolated from this plant and identified as beta-sitosterol, beta-sitosterol glucoside, chryasophanol, 7-hydroxy-2,5 dimethyl chromen-4-one, quercetin, Aloe emodin glucoside, rutin and Patuletin-3'-O-methyl-3-O-rutinoside. The structure elucidation was based on H-1 and C-13 NMR, proton-proton correlation spectroscopy (H-1-H-1 Cosy), distortionless enhancement by polarization transfer (DEPT), Heteronuclear Multiple-Quantum Correlation (HMQC), and heteronuclear multiple bond correlations spectrum (HMBC). Hepatotoxicity induced with CCl4 was evidenced by elevation of liver marker enzymes (ALT, AST, ALP and LDH) and TB content in serum. In addition, antioxidant enzymes were drastically inhibited with significant reduction of GSH and increased LPO in liver homogenate of CCl4-intoxicated rats. Pre-treatment with F. ingens (200 and 400 mg/kg) and silymarin (50 mg/kg) avoided the changes observed in CCl4-intoxicated rats. In conclusion, the ethanol extract of F. ingens showed protective activity against liver injury, which might be developed into a new hepatoprotective agent. (C) 2012 King Saud University.
