摘要: The inhibitory effect of crude extracts Euclea natalensis A. DC. and a naphthoquinone, diospyrin, isolated from this species, was investigated against herpes simplex virus Type 1 (HSV-1) for activity by in vitro studies on primary vervet monkey kidney (VK) cells. Cell toxicity monitored determining the diospyrin monolayers VK dose plant samples that inhibited 50% cell growth (ID 50 ) after incubation period 0.1 mg ml -1 0.2 mg ml acetone water extracts, respectively. Diospyrin exhibited an ID 0.02 mg ml extract roots least toxic to cultures replication HSV-1 moderately at concentration –1 . had no virus. However, concentrations ranging , as shown reduction virus- induced cytopathogenic effects protection cells viability assay
