Abstract
Hepatitis B is a serious infectious disease that threatens the health of all mankind. In this study, we isolated and extracted hydroxytyrosol from Lindernia ruellioides with anti-hepatitis B virus (HBV) activity. The structure of hydroxytyrosol was identified by the nuclear magnetic resonance technique. HepG2.2.15 cell models were used to detect the anti-HBV activity and liver protection of hydroxytyrosol in vitro. Hydroxytyrosol can inhibit hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) and hepatitis B e-antigen (HBeAg). The IC50 values of HBsAg and HBeAg were 4.02 mg/L and 5.19 mg/L, respectively. At the highest concentration of hydroxytyrosol, the inhibition rates of supernatant and intracellular HBV DNA were 75.99% and 66.33%, respectively. Hydroxytyrosol was less toxic to normal human hepatocytes. Molecular docking showed that hydroxytyrosol was bound to three amino acid residues of HBV polymerase with a binding energy of -7.0 kcal/mol. This study provided data for the development and utilization of Lindernia ruellioides and the research and development of anti-hepatitis B virus drugs.
期刊介绍:
Molecules (ISSN 1420-3049, CODEN: MOLEFW) is an open access journal of synthetic organic chemistry and natural product chemistry. All articles are peer-reviewed and published continously upon acceptance. Molecules is published by MDPI, Basel, Switzerland. Our aim is to encourage chemists to publish as much as possible their experimental detail, particularly synthetic procedures and characterization information. There is no restriction on the length of the experimental section. In addition, availability of compound samples is published and considered as important information. Authors are encouraged to register or deposit their chemical samples through the non-profit international organization Molecular Diversity Preservation International (MDPI). Molecules has been launched in 1996 to preserve and exploit molecular diversity of both, chemical information and chemical substances.
