| Description |
The bioassay guided fractionation of the dried aerial part of Indigofera tinctoria Linn. led to the identification
of an active fraction labelled as indigotin. On further chemical analysis, a compound isolated from indigotin
was identified and characterized as trans-tetracos-15-enoic acid (TCA). The chemical structure of this compound
was established on the basis of physical properties and spectral data, including NMR. It afforded significant hepatoprotection against carbon tetrachloride and paracetamol induced hepatotoxicity in experimental
models. Silymarin, a well known plant based hepatoprotective agent, and N-acetylcysteine, which has
proven efficacy as a replenisher of sulfhydryls, were used for relative efficacy. TCA was found to reverse the altered hepatic parameters in experimental liver damage. In the safety evaluation study the oral LD50 was found to be more than 2000 mg/ kg, with no signs of abnormalities or any mortality for the 15 day period of observation after administration of a single dose of drug in mice. The studies revealed significant and concentration dependent hepatoprotective potential of TCA as it reversed the majority of the altered hepatic parameters in experimental liver damage in rats and mice and may be useful in the management of liver disorders.
