چکیده
The present study is carried out for the evaluation of anti-HIV-1 effect of Dimocarpus longan extracts and also the investigation of the phytoconstituents from the extracts. Chloroform, ethyl acetate and methanol 80% extracts of Dimocarpus longan aerial parts were tested for their antiHIV-1 activity using the syncytia formation assay. Ethyl acetate from Dimocarpus longan aerial parts extract has shown anti-HIV-1 activity and the other extracts were less active as anti-HIV-1 agents. Phytochemical analysis of the plant extracts proves the presence of triterpenes, flavonoids, tannins and carbohydrates. In conclusion the results prove that Dimocarpus longan extracts have drug ability as antiHIV-1 agents.
