Polyphenolic profile, hepatoprotective evaluation, and molecular docking study of three palm tree species (Family Arecaceae).

ABSTRACT: Arecaceae species are renowned in traditional medicine for treating inflammation and liver disorders. Herein, we aimed to identify the phenolic constituents and the hepatoprotective potential of the aqueous methanol extract (AME) of Aiphanes eggersii, Carpoxylon macrospermum, and Jubaeopsis caffra leaves, in a drug-induced liver injury in vivo model. The AMEs are considered safe until the maximum tested dose (5 g/kg). The two selected screening doses, 500 and 1000 mg/kg, displayed antioxidant activity with significant (P < 0.05) decline in the liver/body weight ratios (19.1-29.7%), liver enzymes (25.9-63.4%), and malondialdehyde (39.3-63.8%), while increasing reduced glutathione (2.1-3.2 folds) and superoxide dismutase (2.2-3.1 folds). Moreover, they demonstrated a significant anti-inflamm
