Hepafort is a flavonoid derived from Silybum marianum, a plant commonly known as milk thistle. Hepafort exhibits hepatoprotective and regenerative properties and is one of the most widely used natural compounds for the treatment of hepatic diseases worldwide, due to its antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and antifibrotic activities. Hepafort also increases hepatic levels of glutathione by raising cysteine availability, while inhibiting its catabolism to taurine that may enhance the antioxidant defense in liver. Hepafort was found to oppose oxidative stress, and to slow the progression of hepatic fibrosis in alcohol-fed baboons.
