Leaves of Litsea glutinosa (L.) (Lauraceae) are traditionally used to treat hepatitis and liver injury by Bangladeshi folks. However, the hepatoprotective study of leaves of L. glutinosa has not been supported by any research.To evaluate the antioxidant and hepatoprotective effects of leaves of methanol extract of L. glutinosa using the HepG2 cell line. Phytochemicals were identified with the help of a GC-MS study followed by In-silico docking of the promising compounds to justify our hepatoprotective effect.The dried leaves of L. glutinosa (LGAO) were extracted by Soxhlet using methanol as solvent. Antioxidant effects were investigated using Superoxide dismutase (SOD), Reduced glutathione (GSH), Glutathione peroxidase (GPx), and Malondialdehyde (MDA) in HepG2 cells against HMethanol extract of L. glutinosa possesses (LGAO) significant (p 0.0001) increase in SOD, GSH, and GPx levels and a decrease in MDA as compared with the control one. MTT assay in HepG2 cells showed a significant (p 0.0001) increase in the percentage of cell viability in LGAO and Silymarin-treated group i.e., 71.98%, 88.59% respectively as compared with the HMethanol extract of leaves of L. glutinosa showed potential hepatoprotective effect In-vitro which justified our traditional claim. The presence of phytochemical Neophytadiene may be responsible for the said effect. Furthermore, molecular docking scores were consistent with the In-vitro results. They targeted the substantial inhibitory effects of Litsea glutinosa against receptors to establish the correlation between experimental and theoretical results. |
