| Notes |
Silybin (silibinin) is the major flavonolignan from the extracts of milk thistle seed, Silybum marianum. The whole extract, known as silymarin, has been found to protect the liver from both acute and chronic toxicity and injury. Silybin is used in the treatment and prevention of liver diseases because of its hepatoprotective (antihepatotoxic) properties. Clinical tests have also shown its ability to protect against certain types of cancer (skin and prostate), probably due to its antioxidant properties.
Chemically modified silibinin, silibinin dihydrogen disuccinate disodium a solution for injection, is used in treatment of severe intoxications with hepatotoxic substances, such as death cap (Amanita phalloides) poisoning.
