This study was done to evaluate the anti-HSV-2 activity of the crude water of Gracilaria salicornia alga against HSV-2 in cell culture. The extract showed antiviral activity against HSV-2 not only before attachment and entry of virus to the Vero cells, but also on post attachment stages of virus replication. Regarding the calculated SI values of the extracts which were 44.4 and 38.5 for filtered and autoclaved extracts, respectively. It is concluded that the antiviral compound(s) in the water extract of this alga should be heat stable. Also the SI values for inhibition of the post attachment stages of HSV-2 replication were, 31.9 and 29.9 for filtered and autoclaved extracts, respectively. Therefore Gracilaria salicornia could be a good choice as a natural source for anti HSV-2 compound isolation. |
