Isolation of quinic acid derivatives and flavonoids from the aerial parts of Lactuca indica L. and their hepatoprotective activity in vitro.
    Bioorganic & medicinal chemistry letters, 2007, Dec-15, Volume: 17, Issue:24

    In our continuing study of biologically active compounds from Korean medicinal plants, we investigated the hepatoprotective constituents of the aerial parts of Lactuca indica L. (Compositae), since the methanolic extract of L. indica has hepatoprotective activity against hepatitis B virus (HBV) production. The bioactivity-guided separation of the methanolic extract of the aerial parts of L. indica resulted in the isolation of seven quinic acid derivatives (1, 3-4, 6, and 10-12), along with five flavonoids (2, 5, and 7-9). All the isolated compounds were evaluated for hepatoprotective activity by the HBV assay in vitro. In the human HBV-transfected liver cell line HepG2.2.15, all the compounds except 2 and 5 effectively reduced HBV DNA level in the release of mature HBV particles from HepG2.2.15 cultivation. Of the ten active compounds, treatment with 1, 3, and 12 led to significant reduction in the extracellular HBV DNA level, suggesting that they could be potent phytochemical agents against hepatitis B virus.

In vivo antihepatotoxic effects of Ligularia fischeri var. spiciformis and the identification of the active component, 3,4-dicaffeoylquinic acid.
    Journal of medicinal food, 2005,Fall, Volume: 8, Issue:3

    Pretreatment with a methanolic extract of Ligularia fischeri var. spiciformis (Compositae) herb inhibited hepatotoxicities caused by CCl4, D-galactosamine (GalN), alpha-naphthylisothiocyanate (ANIT), and DL-ethionine in rats. An ethyl acetate (EtOAc) extract fractionated from the methanolic extract showed a strong inhibitory effect. A major component, 3,4-dicaffeoylquinic acid (DCQA), isolated from the methanolic extract was examined for antihepatotoxicity. Pretreatment with DCQA (5 and 10 mg/kg, p.o.) significantly reduced serum aminotransferases (alanine and aspartate), sorbitol dehydrogenase, gamma-glutamyltransferase, alkaline phosphatase, and lactate dehydrogenase activities during CCl4- or GalN-induced hepatotoxicity, suggesting that DCQA is a major principle for the antihepatotoxic activity of L. fischeri var. spiciformis. DCQA also partially restored bile flow and reduced total bilirubin and cholic acid concentrations in rats with ANIT-induced cholestasis. Treatment with DCQA inhibited the increase in triglyceride, cholesterol, and total lipids in DL-ethionine-induced fatty liver. These results support the traditionally held belief that this plant can be used for the treatment of jaundice and hepatic failure.
