| Abstract | Coccinia grandis Linn. (Cucurbitaceae) is a climbing perennial branched herb, distributed throughout India. Other plants under the same family have been reported for their hepatoprotective activity. The aim of this work was to study the hepatoprotective effect of crude ethanolic extract from the leaves of C. grandis against liver damage induced by Paracetamol and CCl$_{4}$ in rats. Administration of Paracetamol (750 mg/kg/day) and CCl$_{4}$ (3 ml/kg/day) showed a marked increase in SGOT, SGPT, ALP, bilirubin (total, direct), total proteins, globulin, cholesterol and decrease in albumin in comparison with the normal control group. The effect of ethanol extract of C. grandis at 150 mg/kg and 300 mg/kg doses reduced the serum activities caused by Paracetamol and CCl$_{4}$, which were observed to be statistically significant when compared with that of the control group. The activity exhibited/inhibited by the plant extract was found to be comparable to that of the standard hepatoprotective drug, Silymarin. Silymarin provided a better inhibition or exhibition of the biochemical parameters induced by paracetamol and carbon tetrachloride in rats. The activity may be due to the presence of either alkaloids or triterpenoids or reducing sugars or their combinations, as obtained from the preliminary phytochemical screening of the leaves of the plant. The extract showed no signs of acute toxicity up to a dose level of 3.2 g kg$^{−1}$ in rats by oral route. Thus, it could be concluded that ethanolic extract of C. grandis leaves possessed significant hepatoprotective activity. |

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.
