1 Protection liver: Oral Clausena lansium (Lour.) Skeelslactamase, new Clausena lansium (Lour.) Skeelslactamase and ring Clausena lansium (Lour.) Skeelslactamase to micepoisoned by carbon tetrachloride (CCl4) had lowering alanineaminotransferase activity [1,2]. Aromatic amide compounds injection extractedfrom Clausena lansium (Lour.) Skeels can cause micepoisoned by carbon tetrachloride (CCl4) made serum alanineaminotransferase activity from the 1678U to 727U [3]. The lactamase of Clausena lansium (Lour.) Skeels leaves make CCl4-inducedliver injury mice alanine aminotransferase fell to 677+166u, the control group for the 2270 +284u [4]. A ε-valerolactam have a protective effect on mice by CCl4poisoned.

2 Anti-lipid Peroxidation and cerebral protectioneffects: Clausena lansium (Lour.) Skeelslactamase obviouslyinhibit rat brain, liver, heart microsomes ferrous cysteine induced lipidperoxidation. Clausena lansium (Lour.) Skeelslactamase had noinhibition effects on the PML. Clausena lansium (Lour.) Skeelslactamase inhibit the tmouse liver lipid peroxidation up to 50%, and significantly activated thecytoplasm of liver and brain tissue fluid glutathione peroxidase vitality[6,7].

3 Blood Glucose-Depressing and Blood Lipid-DepressingFunction: Folium Clausenae Lansii(FCL) exerted a certain hypoglycemic effect. The lipemia content in rats couldbe reduced by leaves of Clausena lansium (Lour.) Skeels [8-10].

4 The others: Ethanol extracts hadthe best antimicrobial effect, Clausena lansium (Lour.) Skeelsleaves also had inhibition ofinfluenza virus [12].
