RESUMEN
ETHNOPHARMACOLOGICAL RELEVANCE: Iris tectorum Maxim (I. tectorum, Yuan Wei in Chinese) is a common and traditional Chinese medicinal herb that be used to treat liver-related diseases. However, the anti-HBV activity of I. tectorum and its isolates has not been systemically studied. AIM OF THE STUDY: To screen the active part of I. tectorum and systemically evaluate their anti-HBV activity. MATERIALS AND METHODS: In this study, a series of compounds from I. tectorum were evaluated for their ability to inhibit HBV replication. Swertisin showed a significant inhibitory function on HBV replication. Then, the suppression effect of different concentrations of swertisin in HBsAg, HBeAg and HBV DNA level in HepG2.2.15â¯cells and HBV-infected HepG2-NTCP cells were comprehensive evaluated, respectively. Moreover, the anti-HBV effects of swertisin were confirmed in HBV transgenic mice model. RESULTS: Among these compounds, swertisin strongly inhibited the HBsAg, HBeAg and HBV DNA level in a dose-dependent manner in HepG2.2.15â¯cells and HBV-infected HepG2-NTCP cells. Furthermore, swertisin showed a significant inhibition role on HBV replication in HBV transgenic mice model, the inhibition effect of which was enhanced when combined with ETV. CONCLUSIONS: We have identified that swertisin can inhibit HBeAg and HBsAg production, as well as HBV DNA in vitro and in vivo. This study show that we may found a novel compound isolated from traditional Chinese medicines with potent anti-HBV function.

Hepatitis B e antigen (HBeAg) is an important immunomodulator for promoting host immune tolerance during chronic hepatitis B (CHB) infection. In patients with CHB, HBeAg loss and seroconversion represent partial immune control of CHB infection and are regarded as valuable endpoints. However, the current approved treatments have only a limited efficacy in achieving HBeAg seroconversion in HBeAg-positive patients. Hepatitis B virus (HBV) core protein has been recognized as an attractive antiviral target, and two classes of core protein allosteric modulator (CpAM) have been discovered: the phenylpropenamides (PPAs) and the heteroaryldihydropyrimidines (HAPs). However, their differentiation and potential therapeutic benefit beyond HBV DNA inhibition remain to be seen. Here, we show that in contrast to PPA series compound AT-130, a HAP CpAM, HAP_R01, reduced HBeAg levels in multiple in vitro and in vivo HBV experimental models. Mechanistically, we found that HAP_R01 treatment caused the misassembly of capsids formed by purified HBeAg in vitro. In addition, HAP_R01 directly reduces HBeAg levels by inducing intracellular precore protein misassembly and aggregation. Using a HAP_R01-resistant mutant, we found that HAP_R01-mediated HBeAg and core protein reductions were mediated through the same mechanism. Furthermore, HAP_R01 treatment substantially reduced serum HBeAg levels in an HBV mouse model. Conclusion: Unlike PPA series compound AT-130, HAP_R01 not only inhibits HBV DNA levels but also directly reduces HBeAg through induction of its misassembly. HAP_R01, as well as other similar CpAMs, has the potential to achieve higher anti-HBeAg seroconversion rates than currently approved therapies for patients with CHB. Our findings also provide guidance for dose selection when designing clinical trials with molecules from HAP series.

The development of new agents to target HBV cccDNA is urgently needed because of the limitations of current available drugs for treatment of hepatitis B. By using a cell-based assay in which the production of HBeAg is in a cccDNA-dependent manner, we screened a compound library derived from Chinese herbal remedies for inhibitors against HBV cccDNA. Three hydrolyzable tannins, specifically punicalagin, punicalin and geraniin, emerged as novel anti-HBV agents. These compounds significantly reduced the production of secreted HBeAg and cccDNA in a dose-dependent manner in our assay, without dramatic alteration of viral DNA replication. Furthermore, punicalagin did not affect precore/core promoter activity, pgRNA transcription, core protein expression, or HBsAg secretion. By employing the cell-based cccDNA accumulation and stability assay, we found that these tannins significantly inhibited the establishment of cccDNA and modestly facilitated the degradation of preexisting cccDNA. Collectively, our results suggest that hydrolyzable tannins inhibit HBV cccDNA production via a dual mechanism through preventing the formation of cccDNA and promoting cccDNA decay, although the latter effect is rather minor. These hydrolyzable tannins may serve as lead compounds for the development of new agents to cure HBV infection.

UNLABELLED: In order to improve the bioavailability levels of polyprenols (derived from ginkgo leaves (GBP)) in the human body, a GBP nanoemulsion was prepared, and its antiviral activity was evaluated against influenza A H3N2 and hepatitis B virus in vitro. METHODS: A GBP nanoemulsion was prepared by inversed-phase emulsification (IPE). Next, we investigated the antiviral activity of the GBP nanoemulsion on influenza A H3N2 and hepatitis B virus in vitro by the MTT (3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenlytetrezolium bromide) method. ELISA and the fluorescent quantitative PCR method were used to measure the content of HBsAg, HBeAg and DNA virus in human samples. RESULTS: The GBP nanoemulsion exhibited uniformity at an average particle size 97 nm with a hydrophilic-lipophilic balance (HLB) of 9.5. GBP is non-toxic to normal cells, hepatitis B virus DNA, hepatitis B virus antigen and HepG2215. Furthermore, GBP could reach a 70% virucidal activity and a 74.9% protection rate (*** p < 0.001) on MDCK cells infected with H3N2 virus at a high concentration of 100 µg/mL. GBP had a good inhibition rate on HBsAg (52.11%, ** p < 0.01) at 50 µg/mL and Day 9 of incubation, and a 67.32% inhibition effect on HBeAg at a high concentration of 100 µg/mL and Day 9. GBP had good inhibition on HBV DNA with CT 18.6 and lower copies (** p < 0.01) at a middle concentration of 12.5 to 25 µg/mL. CONCLUSIONS: The GBP nanoemulsion was very stable and non-toxic and had very strong antiviral activity against influenza A H3N2 and hepatitis B virus in vitro. The inhibitory effects and reactive mechanisms were similar to the drug, 3TC; by lengthening the incubation time and increasing the drug concentration, GBP has promising potential as an antiviral drug.

ETHNOPHARMACOLOGICAL RELEVANCE: Hepatitis B induced by HBV is a serious health problem. Artemisia capillaris (Yin-Chen) has long been used to treat hepatitis in traditional Chinese medicine. Coumarins, flavonoids and organic acids were revealed as its hepatoprotective and choleretic components, but its anti-HBV active components remain unknown. This current study focused on its anti-HBV active constituents by various chromatographic methods. MATERIAL AND METHODS: LC/MS and bioassay-guided fractionation on the active extract of Artemisia capillaris led to the isolation of nine chlorogenic acid analogues. Structures of the isolates were elucidated by MS/MS and NMR techniques. Anti-HBV assay was performed on HepG 2.2.15 cell line in vitro: reduction of HBsAg and HBeAg secretions was measured by an ELISA method; inhibition of HBV DNA replication was monitored by real-time quantitative PCR and cellular toxicity was assessed by a MTT method. RESULTS: The 90% ethanol extract of Artemisia capillaris (Fr. AC) showed significantly inhibitory activity on HBV DNA replication with an IC50 value of 76.1 ± 3.9 µg/mL and low cytotoxic effects (SI>20.1). To clarify its active constituents, the extract was further separated into 3 sub-fractions (AC-1, AC-2 and AC-3), of which Fr. AC-2 was the most active fraction against HBeAg secretion and HBV DNA replication with IC50 values of 44.2 ± 2.8 and 23.2 ± 1.9 µg/mL. Nine chlorogenic acid analogues were detected from the active part (Fr. AC-2) by a LC/MS technique and further separated by a HPLC method. The isolates were determined as chlorogenic acid (1), cryptochlorogenic acid (2), neochlorogenic acid (3), 3,5-dicaffeoylquinic acid (4), 4,5-dicaffeoylquinic acid (5), 3,4-dicaffeoylquinic acid (6), chlorogenic acid methyl ester (7), cryptochlorogenic acid methyl ester (8), neochlorogenic acid methyl ester (9). Compounds 1-6 possessed potent activity against HBV DNA replication with IC50 values in the range of 5.5 ± 0.9-13.7 ± 1.3 µM. Di-caffeoyl analogues (4-6) also exhibited activity against the secretions of HBsAg and HBeAg. Esterified analogues (7-9) showed dramatically decreased anti-HBV activity, indicating that carboxyl group is closely associated to the anti-HBV activity. CONCLUSIONS: This investigation was focused on the active fractions of Artemisia capillaris and their active compositions, which showed that Fr. AC-2 was the main active section of Artemisia capillaris and chlorogenic acid analogues were the main constituents contributing to its anti-HBV activity. These results support the ethnopharmacological use of Artemisia capillaris as anti-HBV agents.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the antiviral activities of three kinds of extracts from the fruit of Eucalyptus maidenii against herpes simplex virus typel and Hepatitis B Virus. METHODS: Cytotoxicity of extracts on Vero cell lines were estimated using MTT method and anti-HSV-1 activity was observed and determined with CPE and plaque reduction assay. The inhibitory effects of extracts on HBsAg and HBeAg secretion in HepG2.2.15 cell culture were detected using ELISA. RESULTS: Aqueous extract (pl8-E3) had conspicuous anti-HSV-1 activity, the IC50 was 126.77 microg/mL,but the EtOAc extracts( pl8-E1 )and MeOH extracts (pl8-E2) showed little anti-HSV-1 activity. None of these extracts had significant inhibitory eflect on HBsAg and HBeAg secretion in HepG2.2.15 cell culture. CONCLUSION: Aqueous extract(p18-E3) from the fruit of Eucalyptus maidenii has conspicuous anti-HSV-1 activity. It could inactivate virus directly,and inhibit virus attachment,but had no influence on virus penetration. The mechanism that p18-E3 inactivates virus might involve in viral envelope alteration.

The traditional Chinese medicine Oenanthe javanica (OJ) has been used for many years, mainly for the treatment of inflammatory conditions including hepatitis. In this study, human hepatoma Hep G2.2.15 cells culture system and duck hepatitis B virus (DHBV) infection model were used as in vivo and in vitro models to evaluate the anti-HBV effects of total phenolics from Oenanthe javanica (OJTP). The HBeAg and HBsAg concentrations in cell culture medium were determined by using the enzyme immunoassay kit after Hep G2.2.15 cells were treated with OJTP for 9 d. DHBV-DNA in duck serum was analyzed by dot blot hybridization assay. In the cell model, OJTP could dose-dependently inhibit the production of the HBeAg and HBsAg, and the inhibition rates of OJTP on HBeAg and HBsAg in the Hep G2.2.15 cells were 70.12% and 72.61% on day 9, respectively. In the DHBV infection model, OJTP also reduced HBV DNA level in a dose-dependent manner. The DHBV-DNA levels decreased significantly after the treatment with 0.10 g kg(-1)d(-1) and 0.20 g kg(-1)d(-1) OJTP. The inhibition of the peak of viremia was at the maximum at the dose of 0.20 g kg(-1)d(-1) and reached 64.10% on day 5 and 66.48% on day 10, respectively. Histopathological evaluation of the liver revealed significant improvement by OJTP. In conclusion, our results demonstrate that OJTP can efficiently inhibit HBV replication in Hep G2.2.15 cells line in vitro and inhibit DHBV replication in ducks in vivo. OJTP therefore warrants further investigation as a potential therapeutic agent for HBV infections.

Hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection is endemic in Asia and causes major public health problems worldwide. Present treatment strategies for HBV infections are not satisfactory and the clinical limitation of current antiviral drugs for HBV, such as lamivudine, is causing rapid emergence of drug-resistant viral strains during the prolonged therapeutic treatment. In this research, the efficacy of a natural green tea extract (GTE) against HBV in a stably expressed HBV cell line HepG2-N10 is examined. The expression of viral antigens, HBsAg and HBeAg, were determined by using enzyme linked immuno-absorbent assay (ELISA). Quantitative real-time-PCR (Q-PCR) was used for the determination of extracellular HBV DNA and intracellular replicative intermediates and nuclear covalent closed circular DNA (cccDNA). HBV mRNAs were also analyzed by reverse transcription PCR (RT-PCR). Results showed that the 50% effective concentration (EC50) of GTE on HBsAg, HBeAg, extracellular HBV DNA and intracellular HBV DNA were 5.02, 5.681, 19.81, and 10.76 microg/ml, respectively. While the concentration of GTE with the inhibition percentage of 50% on proliferating cells (CC50) was 171.8 microg/ml. Similar analysis of the principal component of GTE, epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG), revealed it has relative weaker efficacy compared to GTE.

The traditional Chinese medicine Scutellaria radix has been used for thousands of years, mainly for the treatment of inflammatory conditions including hepatitis. The major active constituent, wogonin (WG), isolated from S. radix has attracted increasing scientific attention in recent years due to its potent biological activities. However, pharmacologic studies have primarily been focused on wogonin's anti-inflammatory and anti-cancer activities. In this study, we have investigated wogonin's anti-hepatitis B virus (HBV) activity both in vitro and in vivo. In the human HBV-transfected liver cell line HepG2.2.15, wogonin effectively suppressed the secretion of the HBV antigens with an IC(50) of 4 microg/ml at day 9 for both HBsAg and HBeAg. Consistent with the HBV antigen reduction, wogonin also reduced HBV DNA level in a dose-dependent manner. Duck hepatitis B virus (DHBV) DNA polymerase was dramatically inhibited by wogonin with an IC(50) of 0.57 microg/ml. In DHBV-infected ducks wogonin dosed i.v. once a day for 10 days reduced plasma DHBV DNA level with an ED(50) of 5mg/kg. The in vivo anti-HBV effect of wogonin in ducks was confirmed by Southern blotting of DHBV DNA in the liver. Histopathological evaluation of the liver revealed significant improvement by wogonin. In addition, in human HBV-transgenic mice, wogonin dosed i.v. once a day for 10 days significantly reduced plasma HBsAg level. Immunohistological staining of the liver confirmed the HBsAg reduction by wogonin. In conclusion, our results demonstrate that wogonin possesses potent anti-HBV activity both in vitro and in vivo. Currently, wogonin is under early development as an anti-HBV drug candidate.

In this paper, the inhibitory actions of SHYGC on HBeAg in vitro were studied with the seropharmacological method. By Enzyme Linked Immuno Sorbent Assay (ELISA), it was found that the rabbit sera containing SHYGC have significant inhibitory effects on HBeAg, and they become stronger with the drug concentration in sera improved and the actions time prolonged, they decrease with the HBeAg concentration improved, and the effects of the sera containing hing-dose drugs equal those of Su Xiao Jing containing 250 micrograms/g effective chloric. The direct external inhibitory effects of SHYGC in original pharmaceutics are stronger than those of the sera containing drugs. It probably indicated that the active ingredients of SHYGC could not be digested and absorbed completely from gastrointestine, or were inactived by metabolism in vivo.

The antiHBV effect of Rheum palmatum Volatile oil was studied by using 2215 cell line transfected with HBV DNA. At the same time MTT method was applied for the detection of cytoxicity of drugs, selecting acyclovir(ACV) as control medicine. It turns out that the toxic concentration of Rheum palmatum Volatile oil for 50% cells was (CD50) > 1.25 x 10(-1) g/L. When concentration was below 0.625 x 10(-1) g/L, the survival rate of cells was over 90%. The maximum inhibitory rates for HBsAg and HBeAg were 70.71 +/- 5.4% and 30.99 +/- 5.3% respectively. This shows Rheum palmatum Volatile oil possesses the effect of antiHBV in vitro.
