ABSTRACT
<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>Our study aims to evaluate the antiviral effects of Ouyi antipyretic detoxicate soft capsule against influenza A virus H1N1 in vivo, so as to find an effective Chinese medicinal formulae for the treatment of the virus infection, which may lay a theoretical foundation for clinic treatment of patient infected with Influenza A Virus H1N1.</p><p><b>METHOD</b>With the observation of cytopathic effect (CPE) that induced by virus ,we investigated viral inhibition rate by MTT colorimetric assay and valued antiviral activity of drugs by therapeutic index (TI) . Meanwhile, Oseltamivir phosphate capsule (Tamiflu) was used as positive control , we carried out experiments through the three ways of preventive effect, direct inactivation and propagation inhibition.</p><p><b>RESULT</b>Ouyi antipyretic detoxicate soft capsule could effectively inhibit cytopathic effect (CPE) that induced by Influenza A Virus H1N1. The preventive effect, direct inactivation , and inhibition of endogenous multiplication of Ouyi antipyretic detoxicate soft capsule and Tamiflu against influenza A virus H1N1 were observed. And three types of action therapeutic index (TI) from Ouyi antipyretic detoxicate soft capsule were (15.5 +/- 0.71), (0.55 +/- 0.071), (6.4 +/- 1.27) severally, comparing Tamiflu with (0.4 +/- 0.14), (1.88 +/- 0.29), (4.6 +/- 0.15), respectively.</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>Ouyi antipyretic detoxicate soft capsule showed more remarkable preventive effect than Tamiflu in vitro (P<0.01). The possible mechanism of the antiviral activity observed in our study might be the protection of the MDCK cells from viral infection by inhibiting the viral absorption. We need a further study to certify three effects in vivo.</p>
