| Abstract | Free radical oxygen species cause protein carbonylation, an irreversible oxidative damage associated with diseases such as liver injury, diabetes mellitus, arthritis, cancer and Alzheimer. To determine the inhibitory activity of the protein carbonylation and the hepatoprotective effect of ethanol extract of the fruits of Caesalpinia coriaria Jacq (Fabaceae). Scavenging activity of 2,2-diphenyl-1- picrylhydrazyl radical (DPPH$^{•}$) and the radical cation 2,2’-azino-bis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-sulfonic acid) (ABTS$^{•+}$) of the extract of C. coriaria at 500 mg / L, was evaluated in a preliminary test. Inhibitory activity of the protein carbonylation isolated from mouse liver using Western methodology with dinitrophenylhydrazine (DNPH) probes was evaluated. The hepatoprotective activity of the extract was evaluated in vivo in Wistar rats using carbon tetrachloride (CCl$_{4}$) as toxic orally. The degree of hepatoprotection was determined by measuring the serum liver enzymes, aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and by histopathological analysis of rat liver. The rate of capture of the radicals DPPH$^{•}$ and ABTS$^{•+}$ by the extract of C. coriaria was higher than 90 % in both cases. The extract also showed a better inhibitory effect on the carbonylation of the proteins than butyl hydroxytoluene (BHT) used as positive control. The extract of C. coriaria produced a significant reduction of AST concentration (from 1667,67 ± 394,27 to 718,00 ± 24,85 U/L ) and ALT (from 967,67 ± 118,30 to 625.67 ± 60,98 U/L), indicating liver cell damage attenuation. The extract of C. coriaria produced an important antioxidant activity and moderate hepatoprotective effect against CCl$_{4}$-induced toxicity. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
