<title>PHYTOPHARMACOLOGICAL EVALUATION OF SOLANUM SURATTENSE BURN: USED IN FOLK MEDICINES OF CHOLISTAN DESERT PAKISTAN </title>
<abstract>Ethanolic extracts of aerial parts of  lessThan i greaterThan Solanum surattense lessThan /i greaterThan  burn. (SS), were subjected to  lessThan i greaterThan in vivo lessThan /i greaterThan  study, by means of serum biochemical parameters and histopathological observations, in order to verify its traditional use in Hepatobiliary disorders. All groups of rabbits received a single dose of CCl lessThan sub greaterThan 4 lessThan /sub greaterThan  subcutaneously on 7 lessThan sup greaterThan th lessThan /sup greaterThan  day except group I which was served as normal control . Group II served as CCl lessThan sub greaterThan 4 lessThan /sub greaterThan  control. While groups III, IV and V were served as silymarin control , test group 1 and test group 2 respectively. Results showed that CCl lessThan sub greaterThan 4 lessThan /sub greaterThan  control group had raised levels of SGOT, SGPT and ALP significantly but TB level was not raised as compared to a normal control group. Pre-treatment with SS extract showed hepatoprotection as obvious by significant reinstatement of levels of SGOT, SGPT and ALP, while TB level was not changed significantly when compared with CCl lessThan sub greaterThan 4  lessThan /sub greaterThan control group. SS extract was more effective as compared to both silymarin and SS extracts because SS extract only significantly reduced SGOT level but unable to restore SGPT, ALP and TB levels. Histopathological examination of the liver tissue was further corroborated these results. Thus the outcome of the present study supports the conventional believes on hepatoprotective effects of  lessThan i greaterThan Solanum surattense lessThan /i greaterThan  .</abstract>
