Antioxidant and hepatoprotective action of the crude ethanolic extract of the flowering top of Rosa damascena

Abstract: SUMMARYThe hepatoprotective activity of the alcoholic extract of Rosa damascena was studied against paracetamol induced acute hepatotoxicity in rats. Liver damage was assessed by estimating serum enzyme activities of aspartate aminotransferase, alanine aminotransferase, alkaline phosphatase and histopathology of liver tissue. Pre-and post-treatment with ethanolic extracts showed a dose-dependent reduction of paracetamol induced elevated serum levels of enzyme activity. The mechanism underlying the protective e… Show more

“…In a study, they explained that Rosa damascene contains certain phytochemical metabolites including carboxylic acid, terpene, myrcene and vitamin C which are responsible for most of the beneficial activities of Rosa damascene [53]. Some reviewed that parts of Rosa damascena have carbohydrates 34%, proteins, alkaloids, saponins, fats and oils and phenolic compounds [21].…”

“…The free radical scavenging capacity of the extracts was accomplished using DPPH i.e. 1-diphenyl-2picrylhydrazyl on stable radical 1 [95][96][97] . In this, extract was dissolved in methanol and mixed with serial dilutions (1 to 500 µg) of Dillenia indica f. elongata (Miq.)…”
