description | For the purpose of discovering anti-HIV-1 agents from natural sources, the aqueous and EtOH extracts of eight Thaiplants including Clerodendron indicum (whole plant), Tiliacora triandra (stem), Capparis micracantha (wood), Harrissoniaperforata (wood), Ficus glomerata (wood), Diospyros decandra (wood), Dracaena loureiri (heartwood), and Tinospora crispa (stem) were screened for their inhibitory activities against HIV-1 integrase (IN) using the multiplate integration assay(MIA). Of the EtOH extracts, Ficus glomerata (wood) was the most potent with an IC50 value of 7.8 g/ml; whereas the water extract of Harrisonia perforata (wood) was the most potent aqueous extract with an IC50 value of 2.3 g/ml. The isolation of active principles against HIV-1 IN from Ficus glomerata is now actively pursued. |
