Synopsis
Source of validity: Scientific
Rating (out of 5): 2
Acacetin is a natural flavonoid found in various plants, including Saussurea involucrata and Robinia pseudoacacia. Recent preclinical studies have investigated its potential effects on non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), a common form of fatty liver disease. The scientific evidence supporting its use comes primarily from in vitro (cell culture) and in vivo (animal) studies. For example, a 2022 study published in Frontiers in Pharmacology showed that acacetin ameliorated lipid accumulation and inflammation in the livers of high-fat diet-induced NAFLD mouse models by modulating the AMPK/SREBP-1c signaling pathway. Other research has demonstrated that acacetin possesses anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and lipid-lowering properties, all of which are relevant to the pathogenesis of fatty liver disease. However, there are currently no published clinical trials in humans evaluating the efficacy or safety of acacetin for fatty liver disease. Consequently, while there is emerging scientific interest and promising preclinical data, the evidence base remains limited and preliminary. There is no substantial tradition of using acacetin specifically for fatty liver disease in herbal medicine, and its use is currently justified only by early experimental research rather than robust clinical validation.
