Abstract:
In the present investigation an attempt has been made to perform in-vivo pharmacological investigations of to investigate anti-hepatotoxic effects of berberine in combination with wedelolactone against the known hepatotoxin – rifampicin and to establish the mechanism involved in anti-hepatotoxic activity. Research work was started with isolation of berberine from Beberis aristata (stem bark) and wedelolactone from Eclipta alba (leaves). Their concentration was found to be 1.2% (berberine) and 2.2% (wedelolactone). In pharmacological investigations it was observed that berberine in combination with wedelolactone produced very good anti- hepatotoxic effects through inhibition of Phopholipase A2, quenching of free radicals, attenuation depleted glutathione and membrane stabilization. So the combination of both the drugs possessed higher anti- hepatotoxic property then the individual drug but less than the standard drug Silymarin. So, their use is recommended against other hepatotoxins.
