Abstract

Objectives : The purpose of this study is to investigate the biological Effect of multi-herbal drug 'KOCO-P1' on human hepatocyte HepG2 cells. Methods : Multi-herbal drug 'KOCO-P1' was composed of Ginseng Radix, Astragali Radix, Polygonati Rhizoma, Liriopis Tuber, and Scrophulariae Radix. Cytotoxicity and cytoprotective activity of KOCO-P1 was verificated by MTT assay. And antioxidative effect of KOCO-P1 against EtOH, Nicotine was inspected by Hydroperoxide assay. Results : KOCO-P1 showed no cytotoxicity on HepG2 cells for 24, 48 hours. KOCO-P1 at 50 ${\mu}g/mL$ reduced the production of H2O2 in HepG2 cells by EtOH. KOCO-P1 at 50 ${\mu}g/mL$ reduced the production of $H_2O_2$ in $HepG_2$ cells by Nicotine. Conclusions : KOCO-P1 at the low concentration could be supposed to have antioxidative effect on human hepatocyte with no cytotoxicity.
