摘要
The present study aims to evaluate the anti-HCV activity of hotwater extract from Platycodon grandiflorum (BC703) with HCV genotype 1b subgenomic replicon system and investigate its hepatoprotective activity on carbon tetrachloride (CCl4)-induced acute liver damage in mice. BC703 produced significant hepatoprotective effects against CCl4-induced acute hepatic injury by decreasing the activities of serum enzymes, nitric oxide and lipid peroxidation. Histopathological studies further substantiated the protective effect of BC703. Furthermore, BC703 inhibited the HCV RNA replication with an EC50 value and selective index (CC50/EC30) of 2.82 mu g/mL and above 35.46, respectively. However, digested BC703 using a simulated gastric juice showed poor protective effect against CCl4-induced hepatotoxicity in mice and decreased anti-HCV activity as compared to the intact BC703. Although further studies are necessary. BC703 may be a beneficial agent for the management of acute hepatic injury and chronic HCV infection.
