Abstract Hepatotoxicity occurs as a result of adverse effects of some xenobiotics on the liver, which is often the target tissue of toxicity for environmental chemicals. Rotenone, used as a natural pesticide, is an environmental poison reported to cause organ toxicity. This study investigated the protective effect of three flavonoids, catechin, quercetin and taxifolin (2,3-Dihydroquercetin) in rotenone-induced hepatotoxicity. Male Wistar rats were administered rotenone for 10 days followed by post treatment with catechin (5, 10 and 20 mg/kg), quercetin (5, 10 and 20 mg/kg) or taxifolin (0.25, 0.5 and 1 mg/kg), respectively, for 3 days. Bioindices of oxidative stress and hepatocellular injury were measured in serum and tissue homogenate of animals. Rotenone intoxication produced liver damage in rats as reflected in alterations to activities/levels of enzymic and non-enzymic oxidative stress markers and enzymes linked with inflammation, as well as the transaminases, gamma glutamyl transpeptidase, bilirubin, and lactate dehydrogenase. Catechin, quercetin and taxifolin post treatment significantly attenuated these (p < 0.0001) rotenone-induced imbalances. Comparatively, quercetin displayed the best apparent ameliorative activity. It clearly showed superior activity to catechin. However, taxifolin appeared to show comparable activity to quercetin and better activity than catechin in some of the assays despite being administered at considerably lower doses. The results provide insight on the relative efficacy and structure-activity relationships of the selected flavonoids in ameliorating liver damage and also indicate that additional structural and metabolic factors may be involved in the structure-activity relationships of flavonoids.
