Abstract:   (3350 Views)
Aims: Antiviral activity and effect of methanol and diethyl ether extracts from different parts of sea cucumber (Holothuria leucospilota) against HIV-1 were assessed on human oral epidermoid carcinoma cells (KB) and Human embryonic kidney 293T cells (HEK293T).
Materials & Methods: Sea cucumber was collected at a depth of 10-30 m (Persian Gulf). Extracts were prepared by diethyl ether and methanol solvents. The antiviral activity of each extract was evaluated by inhibition of single-cycle HIV-1 (SCR HIV-1) p24 Core antigen production in HeLa cells and cellular toxicity of different extracts were assessed, using a cell proliferation XTT kit.
Findings: Antiviral activity of each extract showed that some concentrations were able to inhibit the replication of HIV-1. Diethyl ether extract of body wall with 2.79 TI index displayed the highest antiviral activity as well as less effect.
Conclusion: This study showed that crude extracts of Holothuria leucospilota, especially methanol and diethyl ether extracts of digestive organs and body wall and antiviral activity, respectively.
