Abstract: Objective To investigate suitable condition for extraction of the active components from Ajuga nipponensis (A. nipponensis). Methods Orthogonal experimental design was used to determine the optimal extraction parameters for ecdysterones and flavonoids. Finally, the hepatoprotective abilities of A. nipponensis extracts were evaluated by CCl
