RESUMO
AIDS caused by HIV-1, is a major threat to human being. An anti-HIV formulation from Chinese herbs, so called "Qu Du Zeng Ning", have been recently developed. In this work, the pharmacodynamics of the formulation in vitro was studied. The results showed that Qu Du Zeng Ning inhibit the replication of HIV-1 efficiently in all cell-based assay, with IC50 at 105.2, 70.7, 77.4 microg mL(-1), separately. A significant synergy between the formulation and zidovudine (AZT) was observed, and it also showed a potent activity against HIV-1 drug-resistant mutant.
RESUMO
Based on the point of view that the human body is an organic whole and the fact that virus and body is a unity of contradiction,the interaction mechanism of virus and immunity in the research of the anti-HIV/AIDS Chinese materia medica is discussed.On the one hand,it can widen our thinking to find new target of anti-virus drugs.On the other hand,it can also provide scientific support for understanding the complex mechanics of the anti-HIV/AIDS Chinese materia medica.
