Objective: In the present study, the hepatoprotective activity of the aerial part of Bauhinia vahlii was investigated against the carbon tetrachloride-induced hepatotoxicity model in Wistar albino mice. Methods: Glutathione (GSH), Glutathione Peroxidase (GPx), Glutathione S-transferase (GST), Superoxide dismutase (SOD), Multiple Organ Dysfunction Syndrom (MOD) were measured in liver and blood samples. The acute toxicity study of the selected plant showed that there is no mortality or adverse reaction at the fixed dose of 2000 mg/kg. The methanolic extract at 200 and 400 mg/kg body weight respectively were administered daily to study the hepatoprotective effect in carbon tetrachloride-induced hepatotoxic model for 7 days. Results: A remarkable decrease was observed in bilirubin, alkaline phosphatase (ALP), serum glutamic-oxaloacetic transaminase (SGOT), and serum glutamic-pyruvic transaminase (SGPT) levels in the treatment group as compared to the hepatotoxic group. In a histopathological study, hepatocytic necrosis and inflammation in the centrilobular region with portal triaditis was found in hepatotoxicity induced group whereas minimal inflammation with moderate portal triaditis and normal lobular architecture observed in extract treated groups. Conclusion: From the observation, it can be concluded that the methanolic extract of Bauhinia vahlii has the potential to revert the hepatic injury induced by carbon tetrachloride. Comparatively, the methanolic extract at 400 mg/kg w/w resulted in a significant hepatoprotective effect. The standard drug silymarin was used for comparison.&#13;
