Pharmacology

Silymarin is well known hepatoprotective agent. It is prepared with standardized extract of Milk Thistle fruits. Silymarin stimulates RNA polymerase-A, enhances protein synthesis and helps to regenerate and repair liver cell.

The liver-protecting and liver-repairing functions of Silymarin are due to two main actions: antioxidant and protein-restoring activities. The antioxidant activity of silymarin is ten times more powerful than vitamin E. It prevents toxic and foreign substances from penetrating into the liver cells by stabilizing the outer membrane of liver cells.

Silymarin has also membrane stabilizing effect. It alters the liver membrane cell structure in such a way that certain toxins cannot enter into the cell. Silymarin protects liver cells (hepatocytes) from damage caused by alcohol, organic compounds, viral infections, acetaminophen, environmental pollutants and by products of metabolism including foods, drugs, chemotherapeutic agents and other chemicals.

It also acts by anti-lipid peroxidative, antifibrotic, anti-inflammatory, membrane stabilizing, immunomodulatory and liver regenerating mechanisms.
