Medicinal plants have always been the principle sources of medicine worldwide. Human beings have used those as medicine from the very beginning of time. India sustains a very rich traditional medicinal plant wealth and inherits unique plant and animal communities. The objective of the study was undertaken to investigate the hepatoprotective activity of Ethyl Acetate & Methanolic extract of Cyamopsis tetragonoloba L. pods which is an important medicinal plant in Indian folk. In the present study the pods of Cyamopsis tetragonoloba which belongs to family Fabaceae were chosen because various parts of the plant possesses several bioactivities & is used in traditional medicinal system. The pods of Cyamopsis tetragonoloba L. were collected, processed & standardized as per official methods. Two extracts of Cyamopsis tetragonoloba L. pods (Ethyl Acetate and Methanolic) were studied to detect the chemical compounds present, to evaluate acute oral toxicity & hepatoprotective activity. Qualitative phytochemical screening revealed the presence of flavonoid, p-coumarin, Saponins, tannin and triterpenes. Total Polyphenol content & total flavonoid content was determined by Folin Ciocaltue & Aluminium trichloride method respectively by using UV-Visible spectrophotometer. Physical parameters like solubility, ash values, LOD, extractive value etc. has been studied. The antioxidant activity of the extracts was done by using DPPH method. The results showed that Ethyl Acetate extract and Methanolic extract at 125μg/ml concentration showed the significant antioxidant effect as compared with ascorbic acid as standard. The In-vivo hepatoprotective activity of C.T.EA and C.T.Mth extracts were estimated by using carbon tetrachloride induced hepatotoxicity model. The degree of protection was estimated by measuring levels of biochemical markers like SGOT, SGPT, Total Bilirubin and Total Protein. The histopathological study was also carried sout and compared with carbon tetrachloride treated group.
