Literature research of the hepatotoxicity of glucoside tripterygium total and its synergism and toxicity reducing effects / 中国中西医结合杂志

ABSTRACT

Correlated literatures of the liver injury induced by glucoside tripterygium total (GTT) and of its synergism and toxicity reducing effects were retrieved to study the correlation between the dosage, the time point of GTT and the liver injury. The monomer or active ingredients of animals and plants with the hepatoprotective effect were included. The mechanisms of action between GTT and these drugs were analyzed. The mechanism for GTT induced liver injury and its synergism and toxicity reducing mechanisms, as well as the preventive measures were discussed, thus providing evidence-based basis for safe clinical application of GTT.
