Journal of Ethnopharmacology
|January 1, 1987
Abstract:
One hundred twenty-nine samples of Formosan plants were screened for antihepatotoxic activity in primary cultured hepatocytes to reveal that 19 and 26 plants exhibited more than 50% inhibition against cytotoxicity produced by carbon tetrachloride and D-galactosamine, respectively. Plants which disclosed significant antihepatotoxic activity in both assay methods are: Wedelia chinense, Mallotus repandus, Phyllantus urinaria, Loranthus parasiticus, Ludwigia octovalvis, Onychium japonicum, Tamarix chinensis and Ampelopsis brevipedunculata.
