This study aimed to evaluate the therapeutic effects of butin on D-GalN-induced liver damage. The experimental results demonstrated that butin had a hepatoprotective effect on rats by reducing liver cell damage, oxidative damage, and pro-inflammatory cytokine levels.
Objectives: Liver damage is becoming a more severe problem around the world. Unfortunately, there is still a great need for clinically effective pharmacological therapy for liver injury. The investigation aimed to assess the favorable outcome of butin hepatoprotective efficacy against D-galactosamine (D-GalN)-produced liver damage in experimental rats.Methods: A single dose of D-GalN 400 mg/kg b. wt. was injected intraperitoneally, 24 hr prior to scarifi-cation of rats to cause liver damage. The liver injury was assessed biochemically, investigating parame-ters like aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alkaline phosphatase (ALP), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), c- glutamyl transferase (GGT), total-bilirubin,-albumin and-protein. Butin (25 and 50 mg/kg b. wt.) was managed for 21st days and at the end of the experimental period, normal control, D-GalN control, and butin treatment group rats for further biochemical as well as histopathological consideration.Results: Butin pretreatment significantly attenuated D-GalN-induced hepatocytes damage by reducing hepatic markers and its ability in attenuating oxidative damage (MDA, GSH, SOD, CAT) and pro-inflammatory cytokine (TNF-a, IL-6, IL-1b) and MPO. Histopathological assessment of the liver and bio-chemical estimation confirmed the hepatoprotective effects of butin. Conclusions: These results demon-strated that butin protects experimental rats against D-GalN-induced liver injury by modulating lipid peroxidation and pro-inflammatory cytokine. Current research will give preliminary experimental evi-dence for butin, and possible therapeutic effects in liver disorders.(c) 2023 The Author(s).
