Inflammation is a universal response of mammalian tissue to harm, comprising reactions to injuries, pathogens, and foreign particles. Liver inflammation is commonly associated with hepatocyte necrosis and apoptosis. These forms of liver cell injury initiate a sequence of events independent of the etiological basis for the inflammation and can result in hepatic disorders. It is also common for liver cancer. This review fundamentally focuses on the molecular pathways involved in hepatic inflammation. This review aims to explore the molecular pathways involved in hepatic inflammation, focusing on arachidonic acid, NF-κB, MAPK, PI3K/Akt, and JAK/STAT pathways. It investigates active compounds in herbal plants and their pharmacological characteristics. The review proposes a unique therapeutic blueprint for managing hepatic inflammation and diseases by modifying these pathways with herbal remedies.
