The methanol extract and water extract from the stem of Berchemia racemosa (Rhamnaceae) showed protective effects on liver injuries induced by carbon tetrachloride (CCl4) and α-naphthylisothiocyanate (ANIT) in rats. The acetone extract of B. racemosa protected the liver injury induced by CCl4. One of the protective substances was identified as carpusin. Some fractions showed significant protective effects against the liver injury and cholestasis induced by ANIT.
