10 crude fractions and refined portions were extracted from Isatis indigotica using solvent isolation and absorptionchromatography.Their inhibitory effects against HSV-Ⅰ and HSV-Ⅱ were determined by MTT using virus inhibition ratio and therapeutic index(TI)as appraisal targets to compare the antiviral effects among all the chemical parts.
RESULTS:
The parts(Ⅷ,Ⅹ)with EtOH(10% and 50% in concentration)elution via macroporous resin absorption showed the most potent activities,whose inhibitory rates against HSV-Ⅰ were 53.21% and 56.28% respectively,similar the action of its positive control acyclovir(62.55%),and their TI were 4.61 and 18.62 respectively.
CONCLUSION:
There were significant differences in the antiviral activity among all the chemical parts extracted from Isatis indigotica,
