MOMORDICA CHARANTIA - A POTENTIAL HEPATOPROTECTOR
Musayeva Dilfuza Makhmudovna , Bukhara State Medical Institute named after Abu Ali ibn Sina, Uzbekistan, Bukhara.Abstract
This article discusses the pharmacological properties of a plant widely used in folk medicine - Momordica charantia - also known as bitter melon, Indian pomegranate, etc. In our research, we studied the hepatoprotective properties of a dry extract of this plant in experimental hepatitis, using pharmacodynamic and biochemical research methods. It turned out that the studied substance has a strong hepatoprotective property and is in no way inferior to the famous hepatoprotective drug - Karsil, which can serve as a basis for creating a new hepatoprotective drug of plant origin.
Keywords
folk medicine, Momordica charantia, Indian pomegranate, hepatoprotector, pharmacodynamics of the test drug, dry extract of the plant Momordica charantia.
