Phytochemical investigation of the butanol fraction (BUF) derived from the 70% aqueous methanolic leaf extract of Barnebydendron riedelii led to the isolation of three flavonoid glycosides; kaempferol-3-O-α-l-rhamnopyranosyl-(1 → 6)-β-d-glucopyranoside, quercetin-3-O-α-l-rhamnopyranosyl-(1 → 6)-β-d-galactopyranoside and quercetin-3-O-α-l-rhamnopyranosyl-(1 → 6)-β-d-glucopyranoside. Docking studies were fulfilled to validate the possible bio-properties of BUF toward nuclear factorkappa B (NF-κB) and nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2). The protective role of BUF against behavioral, biochemical, molecular, histopathological and immunohistochemical alterations in thioacetamide (TAA)-induced hepatic encephalopathy in rats was investigated. The toxicological studies indicated that BUF was safe up to 2000 mg/kg bw. Prior to TAA intoxication, rats were orally treated with either BUF at multiple doses (70, 140 and 280 mg/kg bw) or lactulose (8 mL/kg bw) for 14 consecutive days. On the 13th and the 14th day, TAA (200 mg/kg bw/day) was intraperitoneally injected. The BUF significantly improved motor impairment, ameliorated cognitive deficits and attenuated TAA-induced hepatotoxicity. Moreover, BUF controlled the inflammatory processes by suppressing the hepatic inflammatory cytokine; interleukin-6 (IL-6) as well as its pro-inflammatory mediator; NF-κB supporting the molecular docking assessment. The brain neurotransmitters; dopamine, serotonin and noradrenaline, as well as ammonia levels were improved in BUF-treated TAA-intoxicated animals in a dose-dependent manner. Furthermore, BUF administration to TAA-intoxicated rats modulated the Nrf2 and heme oxygenase 1 (HO-1) genes expression in liver and brain tissues. The histological evaluation showed that pretreatment of TAA-intoxicated rats with BUF ameliorated the degenerative effects of TAA on liver and brain tissues as well as reduced the activation of cellular apoptotic marker; caspase-3 and glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP+) astrocytes. In conclusion, the observed hepato-neuroprotective effect of BUF is attributed to its flavonoidal content through its modulatory effects on of NF-κB/IL-6 and Nrf2/HO-1 signaling pathways.
