Hepatoprotection of 1<b>β</b>-hydroxyeuscaphic acid – the major constituent from<i>Rubus aleaefolius</i>against CCl₄-induced injury in hepatocytes cells

Abstract

Treatment with 1β-hydroxyeuscaphic acid has significant hepatoprotective activity by lowering the leakage of intracellular enzymes, reducing the oxidation of proteins and decreasing the incidence of apoptosis. These results provide a basis for confirming the traditional uses of R. aleaefolius in treating hepatic diseases.
