Background: As one of the most important organs of the body, the liver is responsible for detoxifying the body, and any liver failure caused by hepatotoxicity leads to acute liver damage, cirrhosis, and inflammation and destruction of hepatocytes. Therefore, this study was done to investigate the supportive effect of sinomenin with gastrodin among cases of liver damage caused by carbon tetrachloride.
Materials and methods: In this study, 48 male mice were used in the weight range of 23 to 30 grams. Then the mice were randomly divided into 8 groups (n= 6 each), including healthy group, healthy group receiving gastrodin, healthy group receiving sinomenin, the healthy group receiving sinomenin and gastrodin, the damage group receiving gastrodin, the damage group receiving sinomenin, the damage group receiving gastrodin and sinomenin, and the acute liver damage group. After the end of the experiment, the animals were killed by enzyme assay and liver histological study.  
Results: The toxicity induced by carbon tetrachloride leads to increase in liver enzymes, as well as destruction of hepatocytes, accumulation of fatty tissue in the liver, and inflammation of the liver. Taking sinomenin and gastrodin improved liver enzymes and liver inflammation.
Conclusion: The use of herbal medicines can be a suitable alternative to synthetic medicines that have many side effects, in which the use of sinomenin and gastrodin can replace anti-inflammatory drugs for the liver and the entire digestive system.
