OBJECTIVE:

To investigate the Effect of extracts with water and alcohol from Radix Trichosanthis on the cell survival and the expression of hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) and hepatitis B e-antigen (HBeAg) in HepG2.2.15 cell supernatant.

METHODS:

The cell survival rate of HepG2.2.15 cells was detected by MTT assay. The HBsAg and HBeAg in HepG 2.2.15 cell supernatant were evaluated by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay.

RESULTS:

The water and alcohol soluble extracts from Radix Trichosanthis significantly inhibited the levels of HBsAg and HBeAg in HepG2.2.15 cells in a time-and-concentration-dependent manner. However, the therapeutic index of extracts with water from Radix Trichosanthis was better than that in the alcohol group.

CONCLUSION:

The activity of water-soluble extract from Radix Trichosanthis is stronger on anti-hepatitis B virus than that of the alcohol-soluble extract.
