Pharmacological actions:
-
Phyllanthus niruri : Phyllanthin of P.niruri blocks DNA polymerase, the enzyme needed for the Hepatitis B virus replication.
-
Ganoderma lucidum : The polysaccharides and triterpenes isolated from Ganoderma lucidum are the major active components. Those components have immune-modifying activity and antiviral effects, which indicate a possible role for Ganoderma lucidum in the treatment of chronic hepatitis B.
-
Glycyrrhiza glabra : Licorice root is a time-honoured herbal medicine in all parts of the world. Glycyrrhizin induces the body's natural antiviral compound (interferon). Glycyrrhizin suppresses the secretion of Hepatitis B virus surface antigen in patient with Hepatitis B virus.
-
Eclipta alba : Alcoholic extract of the plant shows protective effect on experimental liver damage in rats and mice. Wedelolactone is a potent and selective 5-lipoxygenase inhibitor, the inhibition occuring via extremely aggressive oxygen radical scavenging. It is widely used for the treatment of viral hepatitis B, liver enlargement, liver cirrhosis and infective hepatitis.
-
