Hepatoprotection or antihepatotoxicity is the ability of a chemical substance to prevent damage to the liver. This is opposite to hepatotoxicity.
Hepatoprotective molecules used in emergency medicine
- Acetylcysteine is considered the hepatoprotective drug of choice when treating an overdose of acetaminophen/paracetamol.[1]
- Silymarin is given intravenously to treat poisoning from Amanita mushrooms according to the Santa Cruz protocol devised by Dr Todd Mitchell at UCSC.
Herbs with potentially hepatoprotective constituents
- Brassica[3]
- Silybum marianum, from which silymarin is derived
- Andrographis paniculata[4]
