Evaluation of the antiviral activity of different extracts of Gliricidia sepium and Xylopia aethiopica on enteroviruses isolated in Côte d'Ivoire
Abstract
Objective : The emergence of viral infections has highlighted the need for new antiviral molecules. This study is part of an exploration into finding new antiviral compounds from medicinal plants used in traditional pharmacopoeia in Côte d'Ivoire. The aim is to determine which of the extracts from Gliricidia sepium leaves and Xylopia aethiopica fruits (hydroalcoholic, hexane/water, ethyl acetate/water, aqueous) exhibits the best antiviral activity.
Methodology: The cytotoxicity of each partition P1 (hydroalcoholic), P2 (hexane/water), P3 (ethyl acetate/water), P4 (aqueous) of Gliricidia sepium leaves and P1' (hydroalcoholic), P2' (hexane/water), P3' (ethyl acetate/water), P4' (aqueous) of Xylopia aethiopica fruits is determined on RD cells. The antiviral activity of these partitions was then evaluated against a type 1 enterovirus.
Results: The hexane-water partition showed high antiviral activity against type 1 enterovirus, with an inhibition of 65.78±9.21% at a concentration of 1 μg/mL for Gliricidia sepium leaves, compared to a non-significant inhibition of 86.84±5.26% at 31.25 μg/mL for Xylopia aethiopica fruits. Additionally, the aqueous partition of Gliricidia sepium induced an inhibition of 50±0.01% at a concentration of 1.95 μg/mL.
Conclusion: Hexane-water and aqueous partitions of Gliricidia sepium showed́ potent antiviral activitý against enterovirus 1 than those of Xylopia. aethiopica.
