Abstract

Viral infections are capable of inducing reactive oxygen species (ROS) production in the infected cells and antioxidants have been reported to have antiviral activities against many viruses. In this study, an antiviral assay using the cytopathic effect (CPE) reduction method revealed that gallic acid possesses good anti-coxsackievirus B3 (CB3) and coxsackievirus B4 (CB4) activities, reducing the formation of visible CPE. However, ribavirin did exhibit weak anti-CB3 and CB4 activities and was unable to prevent CPE. Therefore, we conclude that the inhibition of CB3 or CB4 production by gallic acid may be due to its general action as an antioxidant.

바이러스 감염은 감염된 숙주세포에서 활성산소를 유도할 수 있으며, 항산화제들은 많은 바이러스에 대해서 항바이러스 능을 갖는다고 보고되었다. 본 연구에서 cytopathic effect (CPE) reduction 방법에 의한 항바이러스 활성 평가에서 gallic acid는 현저하게 CPE형성을 감소시키면서 coxsackievirus B3 (CB3)와 coxsackievirus B4 (CB4)에 대해 항바이러스 활성을 나타내었다. 그러나 rabavirin은 CB3와 CB4에 대해 CPE를 막지 못하면서 약한 항바이러스 활성을 나타내었다. 그럼으로 gallic acid의 CB3와 CB4에 대한 항바이러스 활성은 항산화제 효능 때문인 것으로 사료된다.
