Abstract

Co-Cinobufotalin Oral Liquor (CCOL) was studied for its ability to inhibit hepatitis B virus DNA replication, HBsAg and HBeAg expression in a HBV-transfected cell line (2.2.15 cell). The result showed that ID50 (the drug concentration that inhibits HBsAg or HBeAg secretion by 50%) was 0.08 mg/ml and 0.07 mg/ml on HBsAg and HBeAg respectively. CD50 (the drug concentration that reduces cell growth by 50%) was 2.5 mg/ml. TI (therapeutic index) was 31.3 and 35.7 respectively. The present data suggest that CCOL could exert a potent antiviral activity against HBV in vitro. Southern blot showed that CCOL inhibited HBV-DNA repication in a dose-dependent manner.
