Efficacy and Safety Study of Magnesium Isoglycyrrhizinate Injection in Subjects With Acute Drug-induced Liver Injury

A Multi-center, Randomized, Double-blind, Active Control Phase II Study to Investigate Multiple Dosage and Treatments of Magnesium Isoglycyrrhizinate Injection to Cure the Acute Drug-induced Liver Injury

The purpose of this study is to investigate the safety, effective dosage and treatment of Magnesium Isolycyrrhizinate Injection to cure the acute drug-induced liver injury compared with the Tiopronin Injection.

Study Overview

Detailed Description

The pharmacology research shows that Magnesium Isoglycyrrhizinate could significantly decrease the elevation of ALT and AST coursed by carbon tetrachloride, D-galactosamine and Thioacetamide. It could also significantly reduce the injury on the liver coursed by D-galacosamine and immunologic factors. Magnesium Isoglycyrrhizinate with strong anti-inflammatory effect could protect the liver cell and improve the liver function.
