Elaeocarpus sylvestris var. ellipticus Extract and Its Major Component, Geraniin, Inhibit Herpes Simplex Virus-1 Replication
PLANTS-BASEL(2024)
摘要
Elaeocarpus sylvestris var. ellipticus (ES), which our research group had confirmed inhibits influenza A and SARS-CoV-2 viruses, was investigated to identify new potent and selective inhibitors of herpes simplex virus-1 (HSV-1) replication. To clarify the optimal condition for ES extract (ESE), ES was extracted at different concentrations of 0, 30, 50, 70, and 100%, to screen for its anti-HSV-1 effect. Among these ESE samples, ESE50 (50% concentration) exhibited the strongest inhibition of HSV-1 replication (EC50 23.2 mu g/mL) while showing low cytotoxicity on host cells (IC50 342.8 mu g/mL). The treatment of ESE50 clearly demonstrated a decrease in the expression of ICP0 in the lungs of HSV-1-infected BALB/c nude mice, compared to the MOCK group. Geraniin, which was isolated from ESE50 and analyzed using ESI-MS and 1D-(H-1- and C-13-) and 2D-NMR, showed greater potency in inhibiting HSV-1 replication, as determined by the plaque reduction assay (EC50 8.3 mu g/mL) and luciferase inhibition (EC50 36.9 mu g/mL). The results demonstrate that ESE50 and geraniin show great potential as candidates for new drug discovery in the treatment of HSV-1 and related diseases.
