title: Remarks on Sasidharan et al. "Evaluation of the hepatoprotective effects of lantadene A, a pentacyclic triterpenoid of Lantana plants against acetaminophen-induced liver damage". Molecules 2012, 17, 13937-13947.
abstract: An article by Sasidharan et al. recently published in the journal Molecules [1] claimed to show the hepatoprotective effects of lantadene A against acetaminophen-induced liver damage in mice. While reading this paper, I came across certain points that need to be clarified and taken up in the interest of science and other scientists working in this area.
