Abstract: The hepatoprotective activity of Eurycoma longifolia Jack. roots methanol-water fraction on therapeutic dose was evaluated in carbon tetrachloride (CCl4)-induced rats. Hepatic cells were still normal after three months administration of methanol-water fraction at therapeutic dose. The administration of methanol-water fraction on therapeutic dose prior to CCl4-induced or CCl4-induced prior to methanol-water fraction resulted in suppression of ALT and AST. Histopathological and ultrastructure studies confirmed that methanol-water fraction protected hepatic cells. It is concluded that the methanol-water fraction of pasak bumi roots has a hepatoprotective activity.
