The effect of a single dose of hepatoprotective silibinin on blood alcohol elimination was investigated. Neither influence on the blood alcohol curve, nor detectable increase in the beta 60 value was found, although biochemical considerations suggest such an effect. Though silibinin has a protective effect on chronic alcohol liver injury, it does not influence acute alcohol elimination, and is therefore not suitable for use as a "sobering-up" agent.

Background: Alcoholic liver disease (ALD) is a significant global health concern, primarily resulting from chronic alcohol consumption, with oxidative stress as a key driver. The ethyl acetate extract of (CGE) exhibits antioxidant and hepatoprotective properties, but its detailed mechanism of action against ALD remains unclear. This study investigates the effects and mechanisms of CGE in alleviating alcohol-induced oxidative stress and liver injury.

Introduction: is a medicinal plant that produces silymarin, which has been demonstrated to possess antiviral, anti-neurodegenerative, and anticancer activities. Silybin (A+B) are two major hepatoprotective flavonolignans produced predominantly in fruits. Several attempts have been made to increase the synthesis of silymarin, or its primary components, silybin (A+B).

Liver fibrosis is a continuous wound-healing response to chronic injury caused by various chemical, virus, and pathological disorders; the lack of approved drugs or methods to reverse or prevent liver fibrosis makes it an interesting area of research. This study investigates the potential hepatoprotective effects of the phenolic extract of in rat's module of liver fibrosis. Liver fibrosis was induced by intraperitoneal injection of carbon tetrachloride (CCl) for six consecutive weeks; the butanol fraction of and silymarin was administered orally concurrently with CCl.

Silybin, which belongs to the flavonolignan group, is the major component of the fruit extract of (common name: milk thistle). Silybin is a medicinal compound with hepatoprotective, antioxidant, and anticancer properties. In this study, silybin derivatives were produced through γ-radiolysis, and their tyrosinase inhibitory activities were evaluated to explore the enhanced activities of silybin derivatives compared to silybin ().

Article Synopsis
- This study introduces a new high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) method with amperometric detection for accurately measuring silybin, a key component in nutricosmetics derived from Silybum marianum.
- It details a solid sample preparation technique using ultrasound-assisted extraction (UAE) to effectively isolate silybin before analyzing it chromatographically.
- The developed method achieves efficient separation of silybin A and B in under 20 minutes, demonstrating a low detection limit and high recovery rate, making it superior to previous methods for silybin analysis.
