APAP-induced hepatotoxicity in mice. Nilotinib treatments for mice were found to protect against APAP-induced liver injury as indicated by decreasing the elevated levels of serum ALT, AST, LDH and GGT activities. The protective effect exerted by nilotinib against APAP-induced liver injury was further confirmed histopathologically by preventing APAP-induced necrosis in centrilobular areas of the liver. An important mechanism for inhibiting APAP hepatotoxicity by nilotinib, especially at a dose of…
