Abstract

Hydroquinone (QOH) is a crucial metabolite of benzene broadcating after benzene bioconversion mostly in liver, kidney, and bone marrow. Genotoxicity mention to inter linkage with, or vandalization to, DNA and/or other cellular constituents which synchronize the constancy of the genome. Chyawanprash, is a poly herbal preparation in which Embilica offcinalis is a major component is widely used as a health tonic. It is claimed to reduce aging and age-related ailments and are known immune modulatory and antioxidant properties. There by preventing mutagenesis and carcinogenesis. Aswagandhadi lehya is also an ayurvedic poly herbal preparation therapeutically used as Rejuvenating agent, aphrodisiac and used to treat disorders of Blood, Piles, and Psychosis. The aim of this study is to evaluate the conservetive role of herbal compounds against hydroquinone induced Genotoxicity using albino rats of wistar strain bone marrow cells. The data suggested that Hydroquinone induced oxidative damage was significantly attenuated by herbal formulations through up regulation of SOD, CAT, GSH levels and down regulation of MDA levels.

Keywords: Hydroquinone, biotransformation, Genotoxicity, Chyawanprash, mutagenesis, Carcinogenesis
