Constituents of Artemisia selengensis and their effect on hepatotoxicity

물쑥의 성분 및 이들 성분이 흰쥐의 간세포 독성에 미치는 영향

$\alpha$-Linolenic acid ethylester, $C_{19}$ spiroketalenolether polyyne, herniarin and steroid were isolated from the leaves of Artemisia selengensis (Compositae). The structures of the compounds were elucidated on the basis of spectroscopic evidence. Liver protective effects of these constituents were studied using galactosamine and CCI$_{4}$-induced cytotoxicity in primary cultured rat hepatocytes.
