Abstract

Background Lepidium sativum (L. sativum), an annual herb belonging to family Brassicaceae is commonly known as Garden cress of Egyptian origin but now a day’s cultivated worldwide. The plant material and its constituents are used in various traditional and folk medicines for the treatment of various liver diseases and other ailments.

Objective This review aims to gather comprehensive information on L. sativumʼs bioactive constituents, and itʼs antioxidant, hepato-protective and anticancer activity.

Method Systematic exploration for research evidences were carried out using well-structured and focused review question and presented data in the tabular form for readers’ convenience.

Results The comprehensive literature survey was conducted, and we found that specific studies on L. Sativum and its bioactive compounds had been carried out to date. We explored the unique and selective effect of L. Sativum and its bioactive constituents to combat oxidative stress and hepatic carcinoma.

Conclusion The present article appraised that L. sativum extract has a potential therapeutic effect against liver toxicity and hepato-carcinoma. [Graphical Abstract].
