Zusammenfassung:Carbon tetrachloride (CCl4) causes chronic hepatitis, featuring an increase in hepatic hydroxyproline, spleen weight and serum GPT levels and a decrease in plasma albumin levels. Crude extracts of fresh whole plants of Anoectochilus formosanus showed inhibition of chronic hepatitis induced by CCl4 in mice. Bioactivity‐guided fractionation and spectroscopic analysis revealed that kinsenoside was the most active compound. In an in vitro study, the LD50 values for H2O2‐induced cytotoxicity in BALB/c normal liver cells were significantly higher after kinsenoside pretreatment than after vehicle alone, further confirming that kinsenoside shows significant antihepatotoxic activity.
