Figures & data
Figure 1. Effect of total methanolic extract and the fractions of E. japonica on cell viability of HSC-T6 cells. HSC-T6 cells were incubated with test samples at the concentration of 10 or 100 μg/mL for 48 h. Cell viability was measured by the MTT assay. The percent of cell viability (%) was calculated as 100 × (absorbance of compound-treated/absorbance of control). Results are expressed as the mean ± SD of three independent experiments, each performed using triplicate wells. *p < 0.05, **p < 0.001 compared with control.
Figure 2. Triterpenoids isolated from the aerial parts of E. japonica.
Figure 3. Effect of triterpenoids isolated from E. japonica on cell viability of HSC-T6 cells. HSC-T6 cells were incubated with compounds at the concentration of 10 or 100 μM for 48 h. GA (β-glycyrrhetinic acid) was used as a positive control. Cell viability was measured by the MTT assay. The percent of cell viability (%) was calculated as 100 × (absorbance of compound-treated/absorbance of control). Results are expressed as the mean ± SD of three independent experiments, each performed using triplicate wells. *p < 0.05, **p < 0.001 compared with control.
