ABSTRACT

A great challenge to health care professionals and pharmaceutical industries is to deal with liver injuries and other liver disorders. Multiple factors (Biological, chemical, drug overdose) are associated with liver disorders. Synthetic pharmaceutical drugs which are generally applied for its treatment further accelerate the disorders. In this situation, a great reliance has been evident on natural products which seem promising in dealing with liver problems effectively. One of the major source of natural products are plants. Plants contain active constituents known as phytochemicals, which have been tested for their hepatoprotective potential in many parts of the world. The current review aimed at compiling the data of some important medicinal plant which have been studied during last ten years worldwide with proven hepatoprotective activity.
