Abstract

Widely used in Ivory Coast and sub-Saharan Africa in traditional medicine as anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, laxative and purgative, Erythrococca anomala (Euphorbiaceae), is an annual plant. In this work, the aim was to evaluate the Hepatoprotective activity of the aqueous and hydroethanolic extracts of the leaves. Carbon Tetrachloride (CCl4) was used to induce hepatotoxicity in rats. This hepatotoxic effect causes a significant increase in the levels of liver enzymes and serum proteins. Hepatoprotective activity was assessed by assaying liver enzymes such as serum transaminases (alanine aminotransferase and aspartate aminotransferase) and proteins by spectrophotometric and electrophoretic techniques. When administered orally as a preventive and curative dose of 100 and 200 mg / kg body weight, the extracts significantly reduce significantly as silymarin, the reference hepatoprotective substance at 100 mg / kg bw, hepatotoxicity induced by Carbon tetrachloride (CCL4) at a dose of 5 mg / kg bw after a significant reduction in liver enzyme levels, globulins and a significant increase in albumin. The possible mechanism of this hepatoprotective activity of the extracts may be due to the action of the antioxidants such as the flavonoids, the phenols present in the extracts.
