MATERIALS AND METHODS
We tested several extracts and fractions of labdanum - standardised on labdane-type diterpenes via GC-MS - on their activity against the dengue virus (DENV-2 strain 00st-22A) in in vitro Vero cell cultures (96-well-plates, 5 days). Preliminary experiments with a labdanum diethyl ether raw-extract did not yield measureable results due to cytotoxic effects against Vero cells. In all following experiments, cell viability was constantly checked using the MTT-test. Fractionation of this raw-extract by liquid-liquid-extraction and column-chromatography on silica-gel (gradient elution with hexane, EtOAc, CHCl3, MeOH) succeeded in separating the anti-viral activity of labdanum from its cytotoxic effect.
