In this study the T. undulata bark was tested for its hepatoprotection against paracetamol (PCM) induced hepatic damage and Carbon tetra chloride (CCl4) induced hepatotoxicity. The Invitro study was performed on HepG2 cell line .The Levels of serum marker enzymes i.e. AST, ALT (aminotransferases), ALP (alkaline phosphatase), GSH (reduced glutathione) and MDA (Malondialdehyde) in 70% Ethanol treated rats were monitored, respectively. The 70% Ethanol extract gave promising results as studied in detail. The Present study showed that the 70 % ethanolic extract of bark of T.undulata apparently revive the physiological integrity of hepatocytes. Thus the present study demonstrated the Hepatoprotective property of Tecomella undulate Bark.

Acanthus ilicifolius has long history of medicinal plant belong to the family Acanthaceae. In the present study, ethanolic extract of A. ilicifolius showed antitumour potential against HepG2 cell line induced hepatocarcinoma in mice. The phytochemical analysis were studied by using strandard methods. The heptocarcinoma mice were orally treated with extract of A.ilicifolius (500 mg/kg B.W). The result indicates the presence of phytoconstituents such as Protein (2.5%), Carbohydrates (0.16%) , alkaloids (0.42%), flavonoids (0.62%), saponins (4.5%), tannins (1.0%) and terpenoids (0.20%). In FTIR spectrum of test sample, the strong absorbance were showed at peak 678.94 cm-1, 1514.12 cm-1,1741.72 cm-1 ,2304.94 cm-1, 3597.24 cm-1, 3728.40 cm-1 which are associated with presence of functional groups such as Mono substituted benzene, aromatic (c=c), aldehyde (c=o), disubstituted alkynes(c=c), alcohols with free hydroxyl group (OH), alcohols, phenols (O-H). Treatment effectively suppressed HepG2 cells induced mice as revealed by decrease in the levels and extend of Alanine transaminase (84.3±1.86), Aspartate transaminase (41.6±2.15), Alkaline phosphatase (224.9±6.3), Urea (64.3±1.20) and creatinine (1.36±0.155). Histopathological analysis of liver and kidney was also evaluated. This study demonstrates that the A. ilicofolius have a potent anticancer Properties.
