We investigated the antiviral activity of an aliphatic nitro compound (NC) isolated from Heteropteris aphrodisiaca O. Mach. (Malpighiaceae), a Brazilian medicinal plant. The NC was tested for its antiviral activity against poliovirus type 1 (PV-1) and bovine herpes virus type 1 (BHV-1) by plaque reduction assay in cell culture. The NC showed a moderate antiviral activity against PV-1 and BHV-1 in HEp-2 cells, and the 50% inhibitory concentration (IC50) were 22.01 microg/ml (selectivity index (SI)=2.83) and 21.10 microg/ml (SI=2.95), respectively. At the highest concentration of the drug (40 microg/ml) a reduction of approximately 80% in plaque assay was observed for both viruses. The treatment of cells or virus prior to infection did not inhibit the replication of virus strains.
我们研究了从巴西药用植物 Heteropteris aphrodisiaca O. Mach.(金虎尾科)中分离出的一种脂肪族硝基化合物(NC)的抗病毒活性。通过细胞培养中的蚀斑减少试验,检测了该 NC 对 1 型脊髓灰质炎病毒(PV-1)和 1 型牛疱疹病毒(BHV-1)的抗病毒活性。在 HEp-2 细胞中,NC 对 PV-1 和 BHV-1 表现出中等抗病毒活性,50%抑制浓度(IC50)分别为 22.01 微克/毫升(选择性指数(SI)=2.83)和 21.10 微克/毫升(SI=2.95)。在药物最高浓度(40 微克/毫升)下,两种病毒在蚀斑试验中均观察到约 80%的减少。感染前对细胞或病毒进行处理并未抑制病毒株的复制。
