There is no anti-HCV vaccine and the high diversity of viral genotypes will probably make it very difficult to develop a vaccine. Therefore, the development of new drugs for HCV treatment is highly required. It is commonly known that numerous important modern drugs have been developed from molecules originally isolated from natural sources. In this study, we tested the leave extract and fractions of <em>Ficus fistulosa</em> for their anti-HCV activities by cell culture method using Huh7it cells and HCV JFH1a. The result showed that ethanol extract of <em>Ficus fistulosa</em> (FFL) inhibited HCV JFH1a with IC<sub>50</sub> value of 20.43±4.51<!--> <!-->μg/ml. Toxicity test also indicated that FFL was not toxic with CC<sub>50</sub> value of >200<!--> <!-->μg/ml. The extract was further fractionated using chloroform (FFLC) and butanol (FFLB) successively.

Further separation of FFLC by open column chromatography resulted in 12 subfractions (FFLC1-C12).

The influence of the operating parameters on the uranium peroxide agglomerates was studied in order to identify the agglomeration kernel. The method is based on the resolution of the population balance equation using the method of moments and the experimental particle size distributions. The results lead to a size-independent kernel directly proportional to the crystal growth rate. Under the stirring conditions studied, the agglomeration appears to be significantly reduced by mixing which results in a kernel inversely proportional to the average shear rate. The agglomeration kinetic law obtained in this study will be used for the process modelling in a further study.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":20431,"journal":{"name":"Procedia Chemistry","volume":"21 ","pages":"Pages 263-270"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1016/j.proche.2016.10.037","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"78878656","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
