Anti-Hepatitis C Virus Activity of a Crude Extract from Longan (<i>Dimocarpus longan</i> Lour.) Leaves

Abstract: SUMMARY:Infection with hepatitis C virus (HCV) results in hepatitis C, a disease characterized by chronic infection, cirrhosis, and hepatocellular carcinoma. Currently, the standard therapy is a combination of pegylated interferon-a plus ribavirin with NS3 protease inhibitors. Addition of NS3 protease inhibitors to the standard therapy improves response rates; however, use of NS3 protease inhibitors is also associated with significant adverse effects and an increase in the overall cost of treatment. Therefore,… Show more

“…Huh7it cells were cultivated in Dulbeco's Modified Eagle Medium (GIBCO Invitrogen, Carlsbad, CS, USA) supplemented with 10% Fetal Bovine Serum (Biowest, Nualle, France), 0.15 mg/mL Kanamycin (Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO, USA) and non-essential amino acids (GIBCO-Invitrogen) in 5% CO2 at 37 0 C. The culture cells were cultivated and maintained by periodically re-feeding with new medium. The adapted HCV variant was propagated in Huh7it [27]. Culture supernatant from the infected cells was collected at day 2 and day 5 post infection and concentrated using Amicon Ultra centrifugal filter unit.…”

“…After 48 h incubation, the medium was replaced with MTT reagent containing medium and incubated for 4 h. Absorbance sample was evaluated under microplate reader at 450 and 600 nm, which is correlated with the amount of cell viability. The percentage of cell toxicity was calculated by comparing with untreated cells and further determine its 50% cytotoxic concentration (CC 50 ) values [7,8,27].…”

“…Longan leaves have been reported to contain phenolics, flavonoids, terpenoids and sterols (Yuge, 2012;Xue et al, 2015). The longan leaf extract has shown high antioxidant activity, anti-hepatitis C virus, anti-hyperuricemia and anticancer activity (Rashed and Fouche, 2013;Apriyanto et al, 2016;Sheu et al, 2016). However, there are few reports of antiaging benefits.…”
