Abstract

Picrorhiza kurroa, Andrographis paniculata, Glycyrrhiza glabra, and Boerhavia diffusa have been used extensively in traditional medicine for centuries. Within this review, their medicinal profiles, phytochemical compositions, and pharmacological activities are explored, focusing on their therapeutic potentials. This review presents a comprehensive overview of the bioactive compounds present in these plants, including flavonoids, alkaloids, saponins, and terpenoids, which contribute to their Free radical scavenging and inflammation-reducing, antimicrobial, and hepatoprotective activities. This is discussed in this article how pharmacological mechanisms underlie these effects, as well as their relevance to modern therapeutics. As a result of synthesizing existing research, this review aims to enhance our understanding of the hepatotoxic properties of these plants and how they can be used to develop novel treatments for various diseases. In order to integrate these therapies into contemporary medicine, Further research is needed to evaluate their risk profiles and therapeutic effectiveness.
