Since ancient times,Corbiculaextract has been believed in Japan to have hepatoprotective effects, but it remains unclear whether these claims are true, and if so, which component is responsible for hepatoprotection. In this study, we showed thatCorbiculaextract exerted a protective effect against liver damage. Recent work identified acorbine (β-alanyl-ornithyl-ornithine), a novel tripeptide containing non-proteinogenic amino acids, in the extract ofCorbicula japonica. Synthesized acorbine cured alcohol-induced liver damage in mice. In addition, acorbine purified fromCorbiculaextract exerted a protective effect against alcohol-induced hepatotoxicity in a culture liver model derived from mouse ES/iPS cells. Thus, acorbine is one of the components ofCorbiculaextract that protects hepatocytes against ethanol-induced death.
