ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE: To study the in vitro inhibitory effects and antioxidant activity of different solvent extracts of Boehmeria nivea leaves against influenza A virus(H1N1), and to expand the medicinal parts of B. nivea and develop natural antiviral and antioxidant drugs. METHODS: The leaves of B. nivea were extracted with 95% ethanol. The ethanol extract was dissolved by water heating, and extracted with different solvents to obtain petroleum ether phase, trichloromethane phase, ethyl acetate phase, n-butanol phase and aqueous phase extracts of B. nivea leaves. The toxicity of aqueous extract of B. nivea leaves (50-400 μg/mL) on Madin-Darby canine kidney (MDCK) cell line was investigated. Using ribavirin as positive control, MDCK cells were attacked by influenza A virus(H1N1). Western blotting assay was used to detect the expression of nucleoproteins (NP) in viral infected cells after treated with same concentrations of petroleum ether phase, trichloromethane phase, ethyl acetate phase, n-butanol phase and aqueous phase extracts of B. nivea leaves (100 μg/mL), different concentrations of aqueous phase extract solution of B. nivea leaves (50, 100, 200, 400 μg/mL) and different concentrations of ribavirin solution (0.31, 0.63, 1.25 μg/mL). Using vitamin C as a positive control, hydroxyl radical(·OH) scavenging test, DPPH radical scavenging test and reduction test were used to investigate in vitro antioxidant activity of the extracts. RESULTS: Aqueous phase extract of B. nivea leaves with concentration less than 400 μg/mL was nontoxic to MDCK cells. The petroleum ether phase, trichloromethane phase, ethyl acetate phase and aqueous phase extracts at 100 g/mL could significantly reduce the expression of NP protein in influenza A virus(H1N1) infected cells (P<0.01). Different concentrations (50-400 μg/mL) of aqueous extract could significantly reduce the protein expression of NP (P<0.01) in concentration-dependent manner. The in vitro antioxidant activity of petroleum ether phase and ethyl acetate phase was similar to that of vitamin C. CONCLUSIONS: B. nivea leaves extract have better anti-influenza A virus(H1N1) effects in vitro, and the extracts of petroleum ether phase and ethyl acetate phase show good antioxidant activity in vitro.
