Chrysin is a natural flavonoid that has been reported as a potential treatment for non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). Researchers synthesized a novel chrysin derivative prodrug (C-1) and further investigated its potential therapeutic mechanism against NAFLD in vitro and in vivo. C-1 had a low toxicity profile. Their data demonstrated that C-1 may be a promising agent for NAFLD therapy. 

Evaluation experiments of the acute toxicities of C-1 were conducted by Medicilon.
