- Abstract
- Hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection is a significant health problem, with a worldwide prevalence of about 170 million. Recently, the development of direct acting antiviral (DAA) as a therapeutic agent for HCV has been rapidly increasing. However, DAA has a side effect and is costly. Therefore, it is still necessary to develop a therapeutic agent to treat HCV infection using products. Agrimonia pilosa (AP) and Galla rhois (RG) are traditional medicines and are known to display therapeutic activity on various diseases. Notably, they have been reported to have an anti-viral effect on HBV and influenza virus infections. It is expected that anti-viral activity will increase when two extracts are mixed. To investigate their anti-viral activity, the expression level of HCV Core 1b and NS5A was measured. Remarkably, AP, RG, and their mixed compound (APRG64) strongly inhibited the expression of viral proteins, which led us to identify their metabolites. A total of 14 metabolites were identified using liquid chromatography mass spectrometry (LC-MS). These metabolites were evaluated for their anti-HCV activity to identify active ingredients. In conclusion, our results unveiled that anti-HCV activity of Agrimonia pilosa and Galla rhois extract mixture could lead to the development of a novel therapy for HCV infection. © 2019
