Abstract:
On experimental model CCl4-induced hepatitis the effect on liver enzyme GPT and bilirubine level of 10 aqueous extracts from traditional medicinal plants was studied in combining with sylymarin extracted from semen of immigrant Cuc Gai (Sylibum marianum Gaertn.). Extracts of Bantron (Hypericum patulum Thunb.ex Murr.),Nhodong (Morinda longissima Y.Z.Ruan),Raudang(Polygonum aviculare),and silymarin with their hepatoprotective effect can be use clinically. Ma De (Plantago asiatica L.) extract can be used to reduced GPT liver enzyme and bilirubine level, its F2C fraction can reduce GPT and bilirubine, similarly with silymarin of CucGai. The combined preparation of Ma De F2C and silymarin can be used as supporting therapeutic for chronic hepatitis
