Abstract

Jaundice is one of the most common medical condition affecting infants, children, and adults. Jaundice is not a disease but it is a visible sign and symptom of liver disease which occurs when there is an increase in the amount of bilirubin circulating in the blood due to the abnormal metabolism and excretion in the urine. Medicinal plants are being used long ago by our ancestors for the treatment of jaundice. At the present era, consumption of these herbal medicines is increasing at a high speed, due to its less or no side effect and cost-effectiveness as compared to synthetic medicines.

This review describes approximately 55 medicinal plants which are used by rural and tribal people of different area of Chhattisgarh for curing jaundice.

The data was collected from different kinds of literature survey from the year 1993 to 2018. This review has been conferred in a systematic way which includes plant's vernacular name, botanical name along with its family, part used and ethnomedicinal uses in a tabulated form and also the description of scientific evidence behind the folklore uses of some medicinal plants along with their mechanism of action which have been reported in different kinds of literature.

The current study may be useful for the development of new medicines for the treatment of jaundice.

1Introduction

The liver is one of the most important organs of our body. The main function of the liver is to metabolize and detoxify food, drug, and chemicals in the liver [1]. Liver damage or dysfunction is mainly caused by toxic substances such as carbon tetrachloride, chemotherapeutics drugs, antibiotics, microorganism, and chronic alcohol consumption. These leads to the development of different types of liver diseases/disorder such as hepatitis A, hepatitis B, hepatitis C, jaundice, cirrhosis, liver cancer, hemolytic anaemia, etc.[1,2]. The most common cause of the liver disorder is inflammation which is mainly due to the excessive consumption of alcohol, poor diet, malnutrition or drug induced. Jaundice is one of the most common amongst the different types of liver disorders [3]. It is not a disease but it is a symptom of the liver disease which indicates liver malfunctioning. Jaundice is derived from the French word ‘Jaune’ means ‘yellow’ and it is characterized by yellow pigmentation. It is also known as icterus which means yellowish pigmentation of the skin, mucous membrane, and sclera due to an increase in the level of bilirubin in the blood and this condition is called – hyperbilirubinemia. This may be caused by a number of conditions, including an inflamed liver and obstruction in bile duct [4].

According to the pathophysiology of jaundice and metabolism of bilirubin, there are three types of jaundice which includes

  • 1.

    Pre-hepatic jaundice which is caused due to the hemolysis of red blood cell.

  • 2.

    Hepatic jaundice which is caused due to the abnormal metabolism and excretion of bilirubin by the liver.

  • 3.

    Hepatic jaundice due to the obstruction in the bile duct.

Jaundice is either acquired or congenital [4]. Bilirubin is synthesized within the body by the breakdown of aged red blood cell which causes the release of haemoglobin in the reticuloendothelial cell of liver, spleen and bone-marrow where iron is liberated from haemoglobin along with carbon monoxide and biliverdin which later gets converted by biliverdin reductase to bilirubin which remains in the body as a waste product. The liver usually filters out this bilirubin from the blood and then excreted out of the body through urine and faeces after being metabolized. Jaundice is either caused due to overproduction of bilirubin or inability of the liver to abandon it due to acute liver inflammation, bile duct inflammation, hemolytic anaemia, obstruction of the bile duct, cholestasis, and Gilbert's syndrome. Symptoms of jaundice include a yellow tinge in the skin and in the whites of the eyes, normally starting from the head and spreading down the body, pruritus, fatigue, abdominal pain, weight loss, vomiting, fever, stool paler than usual, and dark urine. The types and causes of jaundice are shown in Fig. 1.

It can also cause psychosis, lethargy, seizures, coma or even death [4,5]. Jaundice is most common in neonates than an adult but when occur in adult, it causes serious plight [6]. Liver disease is one of the major causes of morbidity and mortality all over the world. According to W.H.O. data published in 2017, the total deaths caused due to the liver disease in India reached 2.95%. Liver disease may affect one in every five Indians [7]. The pathophysiology of jaundice is given in Fig. 2.

Chhattisgarh is enriched with natural flora and fauna. Most of the human folk in this region restricts themselves with traditional therapy without any side effects. It became eye-catching to see such exploration of flora, which provides significant therapeutic efficacy against dreadful diseases with lesser costs [8]. In the present day scenario, the region of Chhattisgarh is reported to be of high morbidity and mortality rate of human population due to hepatic disorder within all age groups, wherein the allopathic system became incompatible, and failed to come to the rescue of the patients. The survey found that 2% of the population in Chhattisgarh suffers from Asthma, 11% from malaria, 1% from Jaundice. The prevalence of tuberculosis, jaundice, and malaria is much higher in rural areas than urban areas [9]. Polluted and dirty water is the prime reason for the spread of jaundice, which was confirmed by the recent test done on the water being supplied to the households. The allopathic systems of medicines which are so far formulated and underuse are not completely safe on the ground and free from toxicity. General management of jaundice includes high water intake, proper nutrition, and low-fat diet [10]. Steroids and immunosuppressant are used for the treatment of prehepatic jaundice which can cause an adverse effect on a long-term basis. Further, they are very much costly for routine use. Herbal medicines are often retained popularity due to historical and cultural reasons [11]. In this context, we are focusing on the gathering of information by the literature survey regarding plants which has been traditionally used along with its scientific proof done by the researchers on plants from the folklore of Chhattisgarh. No systematic review on ethnopharmacological studies has been conducted to explore the traditional remedies of Chhattisgarh for treatment of jaundice. There is also no scientific evidence-based review on the traditional medicinal plants used for the treatment of Jaundice in Chhattisgarh. So in this concern, we reviewed different medicinal plant from the different kinds of literature which has been used traditionally by the people of Chhattisgarh for the treatment of jaundice along with its biochemical mechanism of action with its active phytochemicals that are or may be responsible for treatment for the jaundice. This review article may be important for the development of new pharmaceuticals and also to emphasize on the role of ethnomedicine to cure jaundice.

In Chhattisgarh region various medicinal plants has been used traditionally for the management and treatment of jaundice. List of these medicinal plants, traditionally used orally for the treatment of icterus was gathered from the different literature and electronic database such as PubMed, Scopus, and Google Scholar. The data for the traditionally used medicinal plant for the treatment of jaundice was retrieved from different articles along with its scientific evidence for its efficacy and molecular mechanism of action. Data related to the traditionally used medicinal plant was collected from the year 1993 to 2018. Table 1 demonstrates the selected traditional medicinal plants used for the treatment of jaundice by the tribal people of Chhattisgarh which consists of botanical names of plants along with its vernacular name, parts used of the plant, ethnomedicinal use other than jaundice. Table 2 shows the scientific evidence for the traditional claim of these medicinal plants, which includes biological names of the plants, parts, and type of extract of that plant part used for the study, animal model used for the in vivo studies, and method and route of administration of extract. Results of these studies were also summarized by comparing the difference between test and control group on the basis of a different biochemical parameter such as SGOT, SGPT, ALP, SOD, CAT, GSH, TG level, and serum bilirubin level.

2Summary of some medicinal plants with a brief description2.1Abrus precatorius Linn.

A. precatorius is a native plant of India commonly known as Gunja in Raipur and Ratti in Raigarh and Korea district of Chhattisgarh. The leaves, roots, and seeds of A. precatorius are used traditionally for the treatment of tetanus, scratches, leucoderma, snake bite and fever along with cough, cold, fever, jaundice. It's paste is used in abdominal pains, in tumour and for abortion also [12,13,17]. Treatment of paracetamol-induced hepatotoxicity in rat by the oral administration of hydroalcoholic extract of seeds of A. precatorius causes significant reduction in the enhanced level of serum enzymes alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alkaline phosphatase (ALP) and bilirubin. These results were comparable with the results of reference standard silymarin. Probable mechanism that may be responsible for hepato-protection by the hydroalcoholic extract is that the active constituent such as gallic acid, glycyrrhizin and trigonelline present in the extract act as free radical scavenger which obstruct the production of free radicals involved in the metabolism of paracetamol by microsomal enzymes and interrupt their interaction with polyester fatty acids and diminishes the membrane lipid peroxidative processes [25,26].

2.2Acacia nilotica Linn.

A. nilotica is commonly known as Babul/Desi-kikar. Traditionally the bark, leaves, aerial part and flower of this plant is used in Raigarh district of Chhattisgarh for the treatment of congestion, diarrhoea, haemorrhoids, dysentery, cancers and/or tumours, fever, tuberculosis, ophthalmia, leprosy and menstrual problems [13,27]. Administration of the methanolic extract of A. nilotica in rat results in the restoration of the increased serum enzyme level of ALT, AST, and ALP due to the acetaminophen-induced liver damage to normal range level. A. nilotica extract also increases GSH (reduced glutathione) level and decrease MDA (malonyl aldehyde) level indicating its hepatoprotective action against acetaminophen-induced liver damage. A.nilotica contains a high amount of flavonoids, alkaloids, phenolics, steroids, terpenoids, saponins, and tannins. Thus this natural constituent may possess a beneficial effect in the treatment of jaundice through free radical scavenging activity [28]. It has also been reported that gallic acid and catechin present in bark and leaves of A.nilotica showed a protective effect against N-nitrosodiethylamine-induced hepatocarcinogenesis [29].

2.3Andrographis paniculata Nees

A. paniculata Nees (Acanthaceae) commonly known as Kal-Megh, which is used traditionally for the treatment of liver disease, jaundice, skin disease, malaria, diabetes, fever, anti-snake venom, stomachic, cough, liver tonic, antifungal, leaves in diabetes and as blood purifier dysentery, bowel complications in children, colic pain and general debility [24,13,16,17]. It has been reported that alcoholic extract of A. paniculata and two of its active constituent, andrographolide, and neoandrographolide, when given orally for two weeks to Plasmodium berghei, infected Mastomys natalensis, causes significant reduction in levels of serum lipoprotein-X, ALP, Glutamate oxaloacetate (GOT), Glutamate pyruvate transaminase (GPT) and bilirubin level to the normal level, which were increased due to the infection [30]. A. paniculata treatment showed hepatoprotective action against BHC (hexachlorocyclohexane) by preventing the BHC induced increase in the activities of glutamyl transpeptidase dismutase, catalase, and glutathione S transferase, and lipid peroxidation [31]. It was also reported that A. paniculate possibly causes induction of hepatic drug metabolizing systems for detoxification of hepatotoxins. Ethanolic extract of the whole plant of A. paniculata significantly reduces elevated serum marker enzymes such as GPT, GOT, ALP, and bilirubin, restored the tissue antioxidant levels and decreased the lipid peroxidation levels in the liver. The results indicate the potential of these two plant extracts to offer protection against the acute hepatotoxicity induced by paracetamol [32].

2.4Argemone mexicana Linn.

A. mexicana L. regarded as one of the most significant plant species in a traditional system of medicine. This plant is used traditionally for the treatment of several ailments including tumours, warts, skin diseases, inflammations, rheumatism, jaundice, leprosy, microbial infections, and malaria. The yellow juice which exudes from this plant has long been used for dropsy, jaundice, ophthalmia, scabies and cutaneous affections [13,18,33]. When the aqueous extract of A. mexicana stems administered orally to male albino Wistar rats it showed propitious antihepatotoxic activity against carbon tetrachloride-induced hepatotoxicity in rat. A. mexicana stem extract, decreased serum aspartate transaminase, alanine aminotransferase, and alkaline phosphatase level [34]. Methanolic extract of this plant also showed hepatoprotective action against Carbon tetra chloride (CCl4) induced hepatotoxicity in rat [35]. Crude leaves powder of A. mexicana was also evaluated for its folklore claim of anti-icterus activity against CCl4 induced liver injury in rat. This result showed significant anti-icterus activity in intoxicated rat [36].

2.5Baliospermum montanum (Willd.) Muell.

B. montanum is commonly known as Danti belonging to the family Euphorbiaceae. This plant is traditionally used as a remedy for managing various conditions such as jaundice, piles, anaemia, conjunctivitis, skin disease, snake bite, as blood purifier [12,24]. The administration of alcohol, chloroform and aqueous extract of root of B. montanum orally to rat showed a significant reduction in the elevated level of a biochemical parameter such as SGPT, SGOT, and ALP which were elevated by paracetamol. This result reveals that alcohol and aqueous extract of this plant possess significant hepatoprotective activity against paracetamol-induced liver necrosis than the chloroform extract when compared with that of silymarin. In the literature, it has been reported that this plant contains a high content of phenols which posse's high antioxidant activity, which may be responsible for its hepatoprotective activity [37].

2.6Cajanus cajan Linn.

This plant is locally called as Arhar, belong to the family Papilionaceae. It has been traditionally used for the treatment of many ailments like jaundice mouth disease, sores, toothache, dysentery, heart disease, bronchitis and as an anthelmintic [20]. It has been confirmed by the experimental data that methanolic extracts of leaves of C. cajans exhibit remarkable hepatoprotective activity in the acetaminophen and d-galactosamine induced hepatic injury. This natural remedy accomplishes hepatoprotective activity by significantly lowering the elevated biochemical marker enzymes such as serum glutamate oxaloacetate (SGOT), serum glutamate pyruvate transaminase (SGPT) and serum total bilirubin to normal level in experimental rats [38]. The ethanolic extract of C. cajan is reported to contain large amounts of flavonoids. It may be assumed that the hepatoprotective activity may be due to the presence of flavonoids in this extract [39]. The hepatoprotective activity of hydroalcoholic extract of the aerial part of C. cajan was also studied against carbon tetrachloride (CCl4) induced liver damage in Wistar rats. The hydroalcoholic extract of C. cajan showed the presence of alkaloid and flavonoid which may be responsible for the hepatoprotective efficiency of the plant against CCl4 induced liver damage [40].

2.7Clitoria ternatea L.

C. ternatea, a medicinal herb is commonly known as Aparajita belonging to the family Fabaceae. Seeds of this plant are traditionally used by the people of Bilaspur district of Chhattisgarh as a remedy for jaundice and liver swelling. The juice is applied in the nose for a migraine, excessive bleeding, and child abdomen pain. The leaves and roots are used in the treatment body aches, infections, urogenital disorders, anthelmintic and antidote to animal stings [23]. Methanolic extract of C. ternatea leaves possess a significant therapeutic potential to protect the liver against paracetamol-induced toxicity in mice. The active constituent present in the methanolic extract significantly decreases the elevated level of ALT, AST, and bilirubin in the paracetamol-induced hepatic model. The hepatoprotective activity of C. ternatea leaf may be due to its free radical-scavenging and antioxidant activity of some phenolic compounds which are present in the extracts [41]. Ethanolic extract of leaves of C. ternatea showed significant hepatoprotective potential against CCl4 induced hepatotoxicity by a significant decrease in AST, ALT, ALP, bilirubin, thiopentone induced sleeping time and increase in glutathione, catalase and superoxides dismutase level [42]. One of the studies also confirmed the hepatoprotective action of methanolic extract of C. ternatea flower against hepatotoxicant acetoaminophenon [43].

2.8Chrozophora plicata Vahl

C. plicata has traditionally used by the people of Bailadila reserve forest area of Dantewada [22]. Experimental investigation of hepatoprotective action of methanolic extract of C. plicata leaves against CCl4, paracetamol and thioacetamide intoxicated rats attenuated significantly the serum level of SGOT, SGPT, ALP, total bilirubin, triglyceride levels and increases the total protein levels. The presence of flavonoids, alkaloids, glycosides, and lignans in the methanolic extract of leaves of C. plicata which was confirmed by phytochemical screening, may be responsible for hepato-protection [44].

2.9Coccinia grandis Linn.

The hepatoprotective activity of ethanolic and aqueous of Coccinia grandis leaves was revealed by the significant decrease in the activity of enzymes i.e. SGOT, SGPT, ALP, decreases in the level of total bilirubin, cholesterol and increases the level of total protein in CCl4 induced hepatotoxic model in rat. Flavonoid present in the extract may be responsible for its protective effect [45]. The methanolic extract of the fruits of C. grandis Linn. (Curcubitaceae) also showed hepato-protective action when administered orally to the Wistar rat by observing the same biochemical parameters as above in carbon tetrachloride (CCl4) induced hepatotoxic model [46]. Methanolic extract of root and fruit of C. grandis also showed hepatoprotective action against paracetamol-induced hepatic damage in rat [47,4].

2.10Eclipta alba (L.) Hassk

E. alba (Asteraceae) commonly known as Bhringaraj. Folklore use of this plant is for the treatment of jaundice, hair problem, typhoid, and dysentery. The aqueous extracts of E. alba when administered orally in CCl4 induced liver injured rats. The plant extract significantly prevent the increase of ALT, AST, ALP, and serum bilirubin in the liver intoxicated rat [49]. Hepatoprotective study of aerial part of this plant was also conducted on the paracetamol induced hepatocellular damage in mice and the result showed a significant protective effect on the liver of mice. This data gives scientific evidence to its traditional use for the liver-related disease [50].

2.11Emblica officinalis (Gaertn.) Linn.

E. officinalis belongs to the family Euphorbiaceae. Fruit, leaf, and bark of this plant were traditionally used for jaundice, constipation, stomatitis, vision disorders, fever, cough, wheezing, cardiac disorders, arthritis, skin problem, hair fall, tuberculosis, wound healing and rheumatism [16,18–20]. The hepatoprotective activity of aqueous extract of the fruit of E. officinalis and silver nanoparticles synthesized by using E. officinalis fruit extract was studied in CCl4 induced hepatic damage in Wistar male albino rats. CCl4 causes an elevation in the enzymatic levels of AST, ALT, ALP, LDH, and bilirubin which restore to normal level after the treatment with the aqueous fruit extract of E. officinalis and also the total protein level restored to the normal value [51,52].

2.12Mimosa pudica L.

Pretreatment of the 50% ethanolic extract of the M. pudica (Fabaceae) leaves to the liver intoxicated rats by carbon tetrachloride and hepatoprotective action was studied by evaluating the biochemical parameters such as SGPT, SGOT, ALP, total bilirubin, albumin, and total protein. The results were compared with the standard drug silymarin. Pretreatment with this plant extract significantly prevented the increase in the levels of serum SGOT, SGPT, ALP and bilirubin (total and direct) level and also prevented decreases in the total plasma protein level in the CCl4 intoxicated rat. By the phytochemical investigation, it was found that the leaves of this plant contain phytoconstituents like alkaloid, flavonoid, tannin, saponin, coumarin, terpenoids and phenols. These phytoconstituents have antioxidant property due to which it provides protection against hepatic degeneration [53,54]. Methanolic extract of root of M. pudica plant also showed significant hepatoprotective action against CCl4 intoxicated rat [55].

2.13Phyllanthus amarus Schum. & Thom.

P. amarus is a medicinal plant of the family Euphorbiaceae. Treatment with the methanolic extract of seeds of this plant to the simvastatin-induced hepatotoxic rat showed significant hepatoprotective by bringing back the elevated level of SGPT, SGOT, ALP, total and direct bilirubin, serum cholesterol, and serum triglycerides to near normal levels [56]. Treatment with aqueous extract of aerial part of P. amarus to ethanol-induced liver injured rat brings the elevated serum level AST, ALT, HTG (hepatic triglycerides), tumour necrosis factor (TNF) to the normal. The probable mechanism behind the hepatoprotective action of this plant is due to the antioxidant effect of the phytoconstituent present in it [57].

2.14Phyllanthus niruri Linn.

P. niruri commonly known as Bhuiamla is an annual herb with various medical indications. Traditionally it is used for various ailments like jaundice, diabetes, kidney stones, and liver disorders and also for treatment of hepatitis B viral infection. When methanolic and aqueous extract of leaves & fruits of P. niruri administered to the rat, both the extracts showed significant hepatoprotective action against CCl4 induced hepatotoxicity in rats. It shows hepatoprotective activity by inhibition of membrane lipid peroxidation (LPO), scavenging of 1,1-diphenyl-2picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical, by lowering the increased level of SGOT and SGPT. Flavonoids and tannins were reported in the chemical study of this plant that may be responsible for its hepatoprotective action due to its antioxidant property [58]. Ethanolic extract of leaves of this herbal plant also causes a significant reduction in the elevated levels of serum bilirubin, SGOT, SGPT and SALP to normal level in the CCl4 liver intoxicated rat [59]. Aqueous extract of this plant also prevents the hepatotoxicity induced in the rat by nimesulide by investigating the same biochemical parameters [60].

2.15Sphaeranthus indicus Linn.

The methanolic extract and aqueous of S. indicus flower head showed a significant hepatoprotective effect against CCl4 induced liver damage by decreasing the serum AST, ALT and ALP level to normal. This hepatoprotective activity further confirmed by decreasing the hexobarbitone induced sleeping time which was increased by CCl4[61]. Similar study was done on the aqueous and methanolic extract of the flower head of S. indicus on acetaminophen-induced hepatotoxicity in the rat. The results confirmed the hepatoprotective action by lowering the SGOT, SGPT, Acid Phosphate (ACP), ALP, bilirubin and increasing the level of total protein [62]. The protective effect of stem and leaves of S. indicus on CCl4 hepatotoxic rat due to the increase in the level of antioxidant enzymes this may be due to the presence of flavonoids which contribute for its hepatoprotective action [63].

2.16Tinospora cardifolia (Thunb.) Miers

Petroleum ether, ethanol and aqueous extract of T. cardifolia leaf, stem and root showed significant hepatoprotective action against CCl4 induced liver damage in the rat when administered orally by lowering the serum enzyme level of ALT, AST, ALP, and total bilirubin. Phytoconstituents such as flavonoids and alkaloid present in the ethanolic extract that may be responsible for its hepatoprotective action [64,65]. T. cardifolia stem and leaves extract also showed hepatoprotective action against lead-induced hepatotoxicity in mice due to the scavenging of free radicals generated by the lead toxicity [66]. Table 2 gives detail about the in vivo evidence and its possible mechanism for the efficacy of the medicinal plant used by the people of Chhattisgarh for the treatment of jaundice.

3Discussion and conclusion

The innumerable medicinal plant has been used by the tribal people of Chhattisgarh to get relief from jaundice and other liver related disorder. Various investigation and experimental studies have been done on these medicinal plant have been congregated and its effectiveness with it its possible mechanism are presented in this review. Botanical name and vernacular names of the medicinal plant used traditionally by the people of Chhattisgarh for the treatment of icterus are shown in Table 1. The complete detail about the animal studies of these plants to prove its traditional claim summarized in Table 2. In Table 2 medicinal plants with its possible biochemical mechanism of action along with its active phytoconstituents that may be responsible for the management of jaundice is also described. Various hepato-toxins used in the experiments to prepare the animal model. Most commonly used hepatotoxin to prepare the animal model for hepatoprotective studies are carbon tetrachloride and paracetamol. These chemicals are toxic to the liver by the formation of free radicals after metabolism by cytochrome P450. These free radical cause's lipid peroxidation which causes hepatocyte injury. The hepatoprotective property of medicinal plant is mainly due to the inhibitory effect of phytocontituents present in them on the microsomal enzymes to limit the generation of free radicals and also prevent lipid peroxidation by its antioxidant property. These phytoconstituent acts as a free radical scavenger and a stimulatory effect on hepatic regeneration. Pretreatment of the animal model with the medicinal plant extract exert beneficial effect through several cellular and biochemical mechanism including down-regulation of serum marker enzymes such as SGOT, SGPT, and SALP, direct bilirubin, total bilirubin, and MDA. Medicinal plant extract also reversed the changes in functional parameters, antioxidant parameters and its effectiveness is also confirmed by histological observations. In these studies, we have recorded the various plant species which has been used traditionally for the treatment of jaundices along with its reported pharmacological literature. The present study concludes that varieties of medicinal plants have been traditionally used by the people of Chhattisgarh to cure jaundice and other health condition. This review also confers the scientific evidence and molecular mechanism of these traditional medicinal plant used by the tribal people of Chhattisgarh for the treatment of jaundice. This review also gives an idea about the various active phytoconstituents that may be responsible for the therapeutic effect so that these phytochemical agents can be further investigated to validate the traditional claim and also to isolate and identify new bioactive phytochemicals for the potential therapeutic benefit. Based on this review various active phytochemicals present in the mentioned medicinal plants that are efficacious or may be responsible for the therapeutic effect on jaundice are from different chemical categories including flavonoids like flavonols (quercetin, kaempferol), lignin, a phenolic compound, alkaloid, gallic acid, glycyrrhizin, trigonelline, umbelliferone, protocatechuic acid, diterpenes, andrographolide and neoadrographolide, terpenoids, tannin, steroids, catechin, saponin, lignan, myricetin. Triterpenoids, vitamin C, hypophyllanthin, phyllanthin, wedelactone, coumarin, apigenin, luteolin, protocatechuic acid, luteolin, antioxidants (Vitamin E, ellagic acid), emblicanin A and B, lactone. Various in vitro and in vivo animal studies on the traditionally used medicinal plant of Chhattisgarh confirmed the bioefficacy of that plant on the jaundice management. Further research is needed for finding the efficacy and safety of these phytochemicals for the development of novel drugs.AbbreviationsACP
