1. Hepatoprotection: Ethanol extract show hepatoprotection and mechanism of action may be through scavenging free radicals activity and inhibit glycosidases. Rutin show hepatoprotection on hepatic injury induced by thioacetamide through promote ribosomal RNA synthesis, adjust glutathione level, stable cells membrane and inhibit hepatic cells fabric.
