Abstract
The present investigation was aimed at
investigating the Hepatoprotective activity of Bauhinia X Blackeana (Hong
Kong orchid tree) (Caesalpiniaceae (Fabales)) leaves. The dried leaf powder
was subjected to successive Soxhlet extraction using petroleum ether,
chloroform, ethyl acetate, methanol and water extracts were investigated for
Hepatoprotective activity in Wistar rats using standard methods. In the present
study, the animals were pretreated with test extracts before inducing liver
damage with CCl4. Seven days after acclimatization the rats were divided into
seven groups (I-IX), each group consisting of six animals. All animals were
kept on same diet for 7 days. The results showed that the Methanolic extract
was found to be more potent as hepatoprotective than the reaming extracts of
the Bauhinia X blackeana leaves.
