PURPOSE: A hepatoprotection composition containing phlorotannins isolated from Ecklonia stolonifera or Ecklonia cava extract is provided to be used as a pharmaceutical composition for preventing and treating liver diseases. CONSTITUTION: A hepatoprotection composition which suppresses hepatocyte injury due to alcohol contains spirit extract of Ecklonia stolonifera or Ecklonia cava as an active ingredient. A health food composition for hepatoprotection contains the spirit extract of Ecklonia stolonifera or Ecklonia cava as an active ingredient. A pharmaceutical composition for hepatoprotection contains phlorotannin compounds as an active ingredient, isolated and purified from an ethyl acetate fraction of Ecklonia stolonifera or Ecklonia cava. The phlorotannin compounds are eckol, dieckol, dioxynodehydroeckol, phlorofucofuroeckol A, and phlorofucofuroeckol B.
