OBJECTIVE
To investigate the antiviral activities of three kinds of extracts from the fruit of Eucalyptus maidenii against herpes simplex virus typel and Hepatitis B Virus.
METHODS
Cytotoxicity of extracts on Vero cell lines were estimated using MTT method and anti-HSV-1 activity was observed and determined with CPE and plaque reduction assay. The inhibitory effects of extracts on HBsAg and HBeAg secretion in HepG2.2.15 cell culture were detected using ELISA.
RESULTS
Aqueous extract (pl8-E3) had conspicuous anti-HSV-1 activity, the IC50 was 126.77 microg/mL,but the EtOAc extracts( pl8-E1 )and MeOH extracts (pl8-E2) showed little anti-HSV-1 activity. None of these extracts had significant inhibitory eflect on HBsAg and HBeAg secretion in HepG2.2.15 cell culture.
CONCLUSIONS
Aqueous extract(p18-E3) from the fruit of Eucalyptus maidenii has conspicuous anti-HSV-1 activity. It could inactivate virus directly,and inhibit virus attachment,but had no influence on virus penetration. The mechanism that p18-E3 inactivates virus might involve in viral envelope alteration.
