In recent times lot of interest has been generated to find out a natural remedy for hepatic disorders caused by toxins like alcohol and hepatitis virus. The present study is designed and investigate the hepatoprotective activity of Bauhinia variegata bark against carbon tetrachloride (CCl4) induced hepatotoxicity in female Albino Wistar rats. Forty two Albino Wistar female rats were divided in to seven equal groups each containing six animals. Four groups received the extracts of Bauhinia variegata bark and intraperitoneal (i.p.) CCl4 (2 ml/kg) with administration of extracts. One group was control, one treated with CCl4 and one with normal saline. The hepatotoxicity was assessing by plasma concentration of serum bilirubin and enzymes activities. The aqueous extract (500mg/kg b.w.) of Bauhinia variegata bark significantly reduced carbon tetrachloride induce damages in the liver which is measured by SGOT, SGPT, SALP and serum bilirubin levels in blood. The attempt has been made to extract the active constituent and identified by phytochemical investigation and hepatoprotective activity of Bauhinia variegata bark.Keywords

AIDS is a disease caused by the retrovirus Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) and is characterized by the profound immunosuppression that leads to the opportunistic infection, secondary neoplasm and neurologic manifestation. The magnitude of this modern plague is truly staggering. By the end of the 2008, more than 190000 causes of ADIS have been reported in the USA, AIDS is a global problem worldwide. AIDS has now been reported from more 193 countries.
Here we introduce recent therapies used in the treatment of AIDS, like highly active antiretroviral therapy. Also here we introduce drugs clinical trial like BT378/r and HIV vaccine. Our main focus is to high light an integrase inhibitor-Raltegravir which is a new category of drug.
By reviewing Raltegravir's mechanism, pharmacological parameter we conclude that an integrase inhibitor which is active against retrovirus, found to be more beneficial compare to other currently use drugs, and also be found to be effective against resistive subject and increase their like livelihood.
