Abstract
Mussaenda ‘dona aurora’ (sepals) has been investigated for its hepatoprotective and anti-oxidant activities. The highest activity was observed in the ethyl acetate fraction. The separation of the ethyl acetate fraction gave two iridoids, sanshiside-D and lamalbide. Sanshiside-D exhibited a hepatoprotective activity greater than silimarin as was evidenced by signifi cant reduction of ALT and AST in the serum enzyme levels. © 2009, Verlag der Zeitschrift für Naturforschung.
