From the paper

Abstract

The invention relates to an Antrodia Camphorata cyclohexanone compound for protecting the liver, particularly 4-hydroxy-2,3-dimethoxy-6-methy-5[3,7,11- trimethyl-dodeca-2,6,10-trienyl]-cyclohex-2-enone separated from an Antrodia Camphorata extract and capable of effectively protecting the liver. The Antrodia Camphorata cyclohexanone compound is conducive to alleviating the injury of the liver tissue due to the chemical liver injury and the fiberization extent, and can reduce the concentrations of alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and aspartic acid (AST), increase the contents of glutathione peroxidase (GSHPx) and catalase (CAT) in the liver and reduce the injury of free radicals to liver cells so as to improve the oxidization resistance of the liver tissue and further protect the liver.
