Description
Vasicinone, isolated from the herb of Peganum harmala L, may has hepatoprotective activity in mice and warrants further investigation on human volunteers. Both Vasicinone and silymarin significantly decrease the CCl4 mediated increase in pentobarbital indiced sleeping time in experimental animals, thus indicating recovery of liver function.
