Abstract:Flavonoids have been previously shown to possess anti-viral activities In vitro. Oroxylin A-7-O-β-D-glucoside (OAG), a flavonoids produced by microbial conversion, and its substrate baicalin, were assayed for antiviral function against hepatitis B virus (HBV), herpes simplex virus type 2 (HSV-2) and influenza A virus (H3N2). Incubation with 100 μg/ml OAG or baicalin for 9 days reduced human HBV-transfected liver cell line HepG2 2.2.15 secretion of Hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) by 83.17%, and 47.175%, res… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
