Background: Injuries and fatalities caused by liver disease are among the highest in the globe. Every year, more than one million people lose their lives due to chronic hepatitis, which affects an estimated 500 million people worldwide. In order to create liver disease treatments that can successfully cure or slow the illness's progression without side effects, new approaches are needed. Objectives: The present study's aim is to examine and confirm the buffering properties of Bougainvillea spectabilis extracts of ethanolic and aqueous against rat hepatic damage caused by CCl 4 . Materials and Methods: The mice were grouped into several groups. To induce acute and massive hepatopathy, CCl 4 was injected intraperitoneally in a 1:1 ratio with olive oil at a dosage of 2 mL/kg. The toxic control group showed significant weight loss after the intoxication, as revealed by evaluation of biochemical parameters. The hepatoprotective effect was investigated by measuring body weight, serum liver enzymes such as AST, ALT, ALP, SGPT, SGOT, Total protein and albumin. Liver histopathology was then used to evaluate the hepatic architecture, every alignment and inflammatory cells. Results: All of the rats treated with carbon tetrachloride had significantly elevated protective markers and the rats given B. spectabilis extracts i.e. ethanolic and aqueous made a full recovery, returning to nearly normal levels. Histological examination corroborated these results, which indicate that B. spectabilis protected the cellular architecture of Carbon Tetrachloride-damaged liver cells and the hepatic membrane's structural integrity. During comparison to the aqueous group, the rats administered with the ethanolic extract showed promising outcomes that were on par with those of a conventional polyherbal medicine. Conclusion: Thus, ethanolic extract of the plant B. spectabilis may have a protective role against CCl 4 -induced hepatopathy, according to the statistically significant results of our investigation.
