-Epiafzelechin-(4→8)-epiafzelechin extracted from inhibits herpes simplex virus type 2 replication Free

Abstract

Herpes simplex virus (HSV) is a ubiquitous organism that causes infections in human populations throughout the world. It causes a variety of diseases ranging in severity from mild to life-threatening. In this study, -epiafzelechin-(4→8)-epiafzelechin (EEE) extracted from the fresh leaves of L. de Wit (Leguminosae) was investigated for its anti-HSV-2 activity using XTT and plaque reduction assays. Results showed that EEE inhibited HSV-2 replication in a dose-dependent manner. The IC value was 83·8±10·9 and 166·8±12·9 μM for XTT and plaque reduction assays, respectively. EEE did not affect the viability and the proliferation of cells at antiviral concentrations. Mechanistic studies demonstrated that EEE prevented HSV-2 from penetrating the cell and also interfered with HSV-2 replication at the late stage of its life cycle. It also disturbed virus attachment but the inhibitory effect was minor. In summary, the conclusion of this study was that EEE exhibits various modes of action in suppressing HSV-2 multiplication.
