An extract of the crude drug "ukon", the rhizomes of CURCUMA LONGA, exhibited intense preventive activity against carbon tetrachloride-induced liver injury IN VIVO and IN VITRO. The extract was subjected to fractionation by monitoring the activity by the IN VITRO assay methods employing carbon tetrachloride- and galactosamine-produced cytotoxicity in primary cultured rat hepatocytes. Curcuminoids were shown to possess significant antihepatotoxic action. The liver protective effects of some analogues of ferulic acid and p-coumaric acid, probable metabolites of the curcuminoids, were also evaluated.
