Lithospermic acid(CAT: I017711), also known as (+)-Lithospermic acid, is a polycyclic phenolic carboxylic acid derived from the plant Salvia miltiorrhiza. It exhibits anti-oxidative and hepatoprotective activity, particularly in the context of carbon tetrachloride (CCl4)-induced acute liver damage. In both in vitro and in vivo studies, lithospermic acid has shown protective effects on liver cells, potentially through its antioxidant properties.
