Cuscuta seeds and whole plant have been used to nourish the liver and kidney. This study was aimed to investigate the hepatoprotective activity of the ethanol extract of Cuscuta campestris Yunck. whole plant (CCEtOH). The hepatoprotective effect of CCEtOH (20, 100 and 500 mg/kg) was evaluated on carbon tetrachloride (CCl4)-induced chronic liver injury. Serum alanine aminotransferase, aspartate aminotransferase, triglyceride and cholesterol were measured and the fibrosis was histologically examined. CCEtOH exhibited a significant inhibition of the increase of serum alanine aminotransferase, aspartate aminotransferase, triglyceride and cholesterol. Histological analyses showed that fibrosis of liver induced by CCl4 were significantly reduced by CCEtOH. In addition, 20, 100 and 500 mg/kg of the extract decreased the level of malondialdehyde (MDA) and enhanced the activities of anti-oxidative enzymes including superoxide dismutase (SOD), glutathione peroxidase (GPx) and glutathione reductase (GRd) in the liver. We demonstrate that the hepatoprotective mechanisms of CCEtOH were likely to be associated to the decrease in MDA level by increasing the activities of antioxidant enzymes such as SOD, GPx and GRd. In addition, our findings provide evidence that C. campestris Yunck. whole plant possesses a hepatoprotective activity to ameliorate chronic liver injury.

“…Cuscuta chinensis Lam. and its extracts, such as rutin, quercerin and cinnamic acid have been reported to attenuate renal damage induced by ischemia/reperfusion injury, experimental diabetic nephropathy and renal fibrosis in rats with UUO (Donnapee et al, 2014;Hao et al, 2012;Korkmaz and Kolankaya, 2013;Yan et al, 2014). Therefore, it is reasonable to assume that the improving effect of YGW on the TIF in our research may be caused via a synergistic effect derived from these herbs.…”

Abstract-Dodonaea viscosa Linn. is distinguished therapeutic plant where the leaves are utilized as calming, hostile to ulcer, against bacterial and antifungal operators and in the treatment of breaks. In perspective of its restorative significance and compound investigation were done, these studies gave referential data to distinguishing proof of this crude medication.Various substance constituents have been confined from Dodonaea viscosa, however the vast majority of these were directed to the species gathered from Iraq.Through the analysis of phenolic acids and flavonoid in Dodonaea viscosa leaves at flowering stage found 5 important compounds which is Gallic acid, Ellagic acid, Rutin as a phenolic acids and Apigenin, Kaempferol as flavonoid, the chemical analysis appear that the rutin had the highest percentage from the other compounds where reached to 279.547.
