PROTECTIVE MECHANISM OF VITIS VINIFERA L. FRUIT (V. VINIFERA) LOADED POLYMERIC NANOPARTICLES ON ACUTE LIVER INJURY INDUCED BY ACETAMINOPHEN TOXICITY Authors: Singh RK , SHARMA M AND SHARMA CK
ABSTRACT
Liver-related diseases have become a global concern worldwide. Hepatic cells damage is mostly
caused by a variety of toxic chemicals like carbon tetrachloride (CCl4), acetaminophen (APAP),
antibiotics and thioacetamide. For the treatment of liver diseases herbal based therapeutics has
been used from long time in India and has become popular all over world by leading
pharmaceuticals. But in some places herbal medicines are still not acceptable for the treatment of
liver diseases due to its limiting factors. V. vinifera have numerous medicinal properties such as
it acts as vasoprotective, astringent, diuretic and hepatoprotective activity. Due to favorable
properties such as easy to design, easy to prepare, interesting biomimetic, a variety of structure
and have good biocompatibility, polymers are used as biomaterials. Polymeric nanoparticles can
be used as the hepatoprotective agent due to their unique properties. In this present study we
used V. vinifera loaded polymeric nanoparticle as hepatoprotective agent which can be used as a
good therapeutic agent against liver toxicity and also for the successful development of drug
delivery in near future.
