Antihepatotoxic activity of Cassia tora L. (Leguminoseae) was evaluated using in-vivo screening of ethanoilc extract and its ethyl acetate and butanoilc fractions. Histopathological studies were also carried out. The biochemical parameters selected were estimation of SGOT, SGPT and SAPT. The enzyme levels compared with control showed significant protection. The protective percentage was maximum for butanolic fraction which was 82.92%, 83.49% and 75.8% respectively. In histopathological finding of butanolic fraction also a remarkable recovery was observed with distinct hepatocytes, prominent nucleus and nucleolus. There were no lesions. The data justify ethnopharmacological application of Cassia tora.
