| Abstract | India is one of the most endemic areas, where malaria predominates and its control has become a formidable task. Chloroquine phosphate (CQ) on account of its rapid action on blood schizontocide of all the malarial parasite strains has become the most widely prescribed drug for prophylaxis and treatment of malaria. Toxicity of CQ is most commonly encountered at therapeutic and higher doses of treatment. Thus, the present study was undertaken to evaluate the protective effect of Curcumin, a herbal antioxidant obtained from Curcuma longa, on hepatic biochemical and histopathological status of CQ induced male mice. Swiss albino male mice were administered oral doses of CQ (100mg/kg body wt., 200mg/kg body wt. and 300mg/kg body wt.) and CQ+curcumin (300mg/kg body wt.+80mg/kg body wt.) for 45 days. A withdrawal of high dose treatment for 45 days was also studied. Administration of CQ brought about a significant decrease in Protein content with a decline in SDH, ATPase and ALKase activities, whereas ACPase activity was found to be significantly increased following CQ treatment. Antioxidant enzyme SOD registered a significant reduction as opposed to TBARS which was found to be elevated in a significant manner in the CQ treated groups as compared to control. Gravimetric indices (body weight and organ weight) declined significantly following CQ treatment. Administration of curcumin exhibited significant reversal of CQ induced toxicity in hepatic tissue. Protein content, SDH, ATPase, ALKase, ACPase, SOD, TBARS, body weight and organ weight were found to be comparable to that of control group after curcumin administration. Thus, obtained results led us to conclude the curative potential of curcumin against CQ induced hepatotoxicity. |

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.
