3,4,5-Trihydroxy Benzoic Acid (Gallic Acid), the Hepatoprotective Principle in the Fruits Ofterminalia Belerica-Bioassay Guided Activity

Hepatoprotective potential of Aloe barbadensis Mill. against carbon tetrachloride induced hepatotoxicity

“…Our results correlates with the findings of previous authors that the time of lost reflex induced by short acting barbiturates is significantly prolonged in the event of any hepatic damage (Anand et al, 1997). AB-4 significantly shortened the hexobarbitone "sleep time" and zoxazolamine "paralysis time" as compared to CCl 4 alone treated animals.…”

Protective effect ofTerminalia muelleriagainst carbon tetrachloride-induced hepato and nephro-toxicity in mice and characterization of its bioactive constituents

“…Tellimagrandin I from walnuts had a hepatoprotective effect in a CCl 4 -induced rat liver injury model (Shimoda et al, 2008). Many reports showed that gallic acid, present in several plants, is responsible for the hepatoprotective activity of these plants due to its strong antioxidant activity (Anand et al, 1997). Ellagic acid was proved to have a significant protective effect against CCl 4 -induced hepatotoxicity by increasing the level of GSH and by decreasing the lipid peroxidation (Singh et al, 1999).…”

Mechanisms underlying the antispasmodic and bronchodilatory properties of Terminalia bellerica fruit

“…The plant is reported to contain termilignan, thannilignan, 7-hydroxy-3 ,4 -(methylenedioxy) flavone and anolignan B (Valsaraj et al, 1997), gallic acid, ellagic acid, ␤-sitosterol (Anand et al, 1997), arjungenin, belleric acid, bellericoside (Nandy et al, 1989) and cannogenol 3-O-␤-d-galactopyranosyl-(1 → 4)-O-␣-l-rhamnopyranoside (Yadava and Rathore, 2001).…”
