Abstract
-
Angelica tenuissima Nakai is a widely used commodity in
traditional medicine. Nevertheless, no study has been conducted
on the antiviral and immune-modulatory properties
of an aqueous extract of Angelica tenuissima Nakai. In the
present study, we evaluated the antiviral activities and the
mechanism of action of an aqueous extract of Angelica tenuissima
Nakai both in vitro and in vivo. In vitro, an effective
dose of Angelica tenuissima Nakai markedly inhibited the
replication of Influenza A virus (PR8), Vesicular stomatitis
virus (VSV), Herpes simplex virus (HSV), Coxsackie virus,
and Enterovirus (EV-71) on epithelial (HEK293T/HeLa) and
immune (RAW264.7) cells. Such inhibition can be described
by the induction of the antiviral state in cells by antiviral, IFNrelated
gene induction and secretion of IFNs and pro-inflammatory
cytokines. In vivo, Angelica tenuissima Nakai
treated BALB/c mice displayed higher survivability and lower
lung viral titers when challenged with lethal doses of highly
pathogenic influenza A subtypes (H1N1, H5N2, H7N3, and
H9N2). We also found that Angelica tenuissima Nakai can
induce the secretion of IL-6, IFN-λ, and local IgA in bronchoalveolar
lavage fluid (BALF) of Angelica tenuissima Nakai
treated mice, which correlating with the observed prophylactic
effects. In HPLC analysis, we found the presence of several
compounds in the aqueous fraction and among them; we
evaluated antiviral properties of ferulic acid. Therefore, an
extract of Angelica tenuissima Nakai and its components,
including ferulic acid, play roles as immunomodulators and
may be potential candidates for novel anti-viral/anti-influenza
agents.

Abstract
-
Herbal medicine has been used in the orient for thousands of years to treat large and small ailments, including microbial infections. Although there are treatments for influenza virus infection, there is no treatment for drug-resistant viruses. It is time that we explored and exploited the multicomponent nature of herbal extracts as multi-drug combination therapies. Here, we present data on the anti-influenza virus effect of a medicinal mushroom, Phellinus igniarius. The P. igniarius water extract was effective against influenza A and B viruses, including 2009 pandemic H1N1, human H3N2, avian H9N2, and oseltamivir-resistant H1N1 viruses. Virological assays revealed that the extract may interfere with one or more early events in the influenza virus replication cycle, including viral attachment to the target cell. Therefore, our results provide new insights into the use of P. igniarius as an anti-influenza medicine.

Abstract
-
Streptococcus mutans is associated with dental caries. A cariogenic biofilm, in particular, has been studied extensively for its role in the formation of dental caries. Herbal extracts such as Cudrania tricuspidata, Sophora flavescens, Ginkgo biloba, and Betula Schmidtii have been used as a folk remedy for treating diseases. The purpose of this study was to evaluate and compare the antibacterial activity of herbal extracts against normal oral streptococci, planktonic and biofilm of S. mutans. Streptococcus gordonii, Streptococcus oralis, Streptococcus salivarius, Streptococcus sanguinis, and S. mutans were cultivated with brain heart infusion broth and susceptibility assay for the herbal extracts was performed according to the protocol of Clinical and Laboratory Standard Institute. Also, S. mutans biofilm was formed on a polystyrene 12-well plate and 8-well chamber glass slip using BHI broth containing 2% sucrose and 1% mannose after conditioning the plate and the glass slip with unstimulated saliva. The biofilm was treated with the herbal extracts in various concentrations and inoculated on Mitis-Salivarius bacitracin agar plate for enumeration of viable S. mutans by counting colony forming units. Planktonic S. mutans showed susceptibility to all of the extracts and S. mutans biofilm exhibited the highest level of sensitivity for the extracts of S. flavescens. The normal oral streptococci exhibited a weak susceptibility in comparison to S. mutans. S. oralis, however, was resistant to all of the extracts. In conclusion, the extract of S. flavescens may be a potential candidate for prevention and management of dental caries.
