Curator's Comment: description was created based on several sources, including: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/17305535 | http://www.webmd.com/heart-disease/milk-thistle-benefits-and-side-effects#1

Silymarin, a plant-derived flavonoid from the plant Silybum marianum, is considered the most potential drug to treat almost all kind of liver diseases, particularly alcoholic liver disease, acute and chronic viral hepatitis and toxins-mediated liver dysfunctions. The main component of the silymarin complex is silybin, synonymous with silibinin, sometimes incorrectly called silybinin, which is a mixture of two diastereomers A and B in approximately 1:1 proportion. The drug possess hepatoprotective and antioxidant activity. The hepatoprotective effect is due to stimulation of synthesis of structural and functional proteins and phospholipids, as well as acceleration of the regeneration of hepatocytes. Antioxidant effect is determined by interaction of bioflavones with free radicals in the liver and its detoxication. In such manner the process of peroxidation of the lipids is interrupted and further liver destruction is prevented. Side effect is a mild laxative effect has occasionally been observed.

Sample Use Guides

In Vivo Use Guide

70 mg or 140 mg capsule should be taken 3 times daily. The medication should be continued until the relief of the symptoms according to the advice of a physician.

Route of Administration: Oral

In Vitro Use Guide

Silybin at pharmacologically achievable in vivo concentrations (0.02–20 uM) increased insulin-like growth factorbinding protein 3 (IGFBP-3) accumulation in androgenindependent prostate cancer PC-3 cells in conditioned medium and caused a dose-dependent increase of IGFBP-3 mRNA abundance with a 9-fold increase over baseline at 20 uM concentration.
