Abstract:

  Background :Wide distribution and low half-life of acyclovir has led to a high dose consumption of the drug. Recent studies have shown that encapsulation of acyclovir in nano-carriers can increase effectiveness and decrease its side effects. We investigated the inhibitory effect of acyclovir loaded nano-niosomes against herpes simplex virus type-1 (HSV-1) in cell culture.   Methods : In-vitro cytotoxicity study of empty niosomes (E-N), acyclovir loaded niosomes (ACV-N) and ACV as a free drug against HeLa cell line was performed by MTT assay and the viral titers was tested by TCID50 assay.   Results : The results indicated that a significant higher antiviral activity for acyclovir loaded nano-niosomes of about 3 times in comparison with free drug.   Conclusion : The results of this study revealed ACV-N have a higher antiviral activity compared with free drug it could be a suitable carrier for delivery of acyclovir in the treatment of HSV-1 infections.

The Effect of Hydroalcoholic Extract of Olive Leaves against Herpes Simplex Virus Type 1

Background: It was shown that olive leave extract has antifungal, antibacterial and antiviral activities. The effects of OLE on herpes simplex virus-1 (HSV-1) have not been systematically investigated yet. The aim of this study was to examine the in vitro effect of olive leaf hydroalcoholic extract (OLHE) on HSV-1. Methods: Virucidal effect and viral replication in Vero cell line were studied i...

Inhibitory Effect of Mentha Piperita Extracts against Herpes Simplex Virus Isolated from Eye Infection

Herpes simplex virus (HSV) is one of the common pathogenic viruses of humans bing. This study aimed to determin anti-herpes virus activity of Mentha Piperita extracts in vitro. Mentha Piperita extracts can inhibit HSV infection when the cells treated before viral adsorbtion. HSV-1 were also inhibited by menthol after viral adsorption. HSV-1 viral particles were directly inhibited and viral yie...
