The anti-enterovirus 71 (EV71) activity of six Nepalese plants' extracts and gallic acid (GA) isolated from Woodfordia fruticosa Kurz (family; Lythaceae) flowers were evaluated in Vero cells.
The anti-EV71 activity of tested compounds was evaluated by a cytopathic effect reduction method. Our results demonstrated that flowers' extracts of W. fruticosa exerted strong anti-EV71 activity, with a 50% inhibitory concentration (IC(50)) of 1.2 microg ml(-1) and no cytotoxicity at a concentration of 100 microg ml(-1), and the derived therapeutic index (TI) was more than 83.33. Rivabirin showed no antiviral activity against EV71. Furthermore, GA isolated from W. fruticosa flowers exhibited a higher anti-EV71 activity than the extract of W. fruticosa flowers, with an IC(50) of 0.76 microg ml(-1) and no cytotoxicity at a concentration of 100 microg ml(-1), and the derived TI was 99.57.
This study demonstrated that flower extracts of W. fruticosa possessed anti-EV71 activity and GA isolated from these flowers showed stronger anti-EV71 activity than that the extracts.
Our results suggest that the GA from W. fruticosa flowers may be used as a potential antiviral agent.
评估来自尼泊尔六种植物提取物和从武靴藤(夹竹桃科)花中分离得到的没食子酸(GA)对肠道病毒 71 型(EV71)的抗病毒活性。
采用细胞病变抑制法评估了受试化合物的抗 EV71 活性。结果表明,武靴藤花提取物对 EV71 具有较强的抑制活性,其 50%抑制浓度(IC50)为 1.2μg/ml,在 100μg/ml 浓度下无细胞毒性,治疗指数(TI)大于 83.33。利巴韦林对 EV71 无抗病毒活性。此外,从武靴藤花中分离得到的 GA 对 EV71 的抗病毒活性高于武靴藤花提取物,其 IC50 为 0.76μg/ml,在 100μg/ml 浓度下无细胞毒性,TI 为 99.57。
本研究表明,武靴藤花提取物具有抗 EV71 活性,而从这些花中分离得到的 GA 对 EV71 的抑制活性强于提取物。
我们的研究结果表明,武靴藤花中的 GA 可能被用作一种有潜力的抗病毒药物。
