Summary of anti-HAV natural products.
Abstract
The review on antiviral anti-hepatitis A virus agents is warranted given the importance of hepatitis A virus (HAV) as a human pathogen. Novel antiviral drugs have been sourced from natural agents and developed into products for management of viral infections. The role of purified natural products in treatment and as adjunctives in the management of HAV infections is clearly plausible. Treatments against Hepatitis A virus infection is currently limited. In this chapter, the antiviral natural products against hepatitis-A virus (HAV), their sources as well as their treatment approach and their application have been discussed. The antiviral natural products could be sourced generally from plants, herbs and animals. These natural agents have been shown to demonstrate substantial antiviral activity against HAV and could target various stages of the viral life cycle, replication, assemblage, release, as well as targeting virus-host specific interactions.

1. Introduction
The role of purified natural products in prophylaxis, palliative and curative treatment of myriad diseases of bacterial, fungal and viral origin cannot be overemphasized. Novel antiviral drugs have been sourced from natural agents and developed into products for prophylactic and therapeutic purposes [1]. These natural agents have been shown to demonstrate antiviral activity by interfering with viral life cycle, replication, assemblage, release, as well as targeting virus-host specific interactions [1]. Antiviral natural products can be sourced generally from plants or herbs, microbes, animals and humans. In this chapter, the antiviral natural products against hepatitis-A virus (HAV), their sources as well as their treatment approach and their application were adequately discussed.
2. Therapeutic anti-HAV natural products
Hepatitis A virus is among the pathogens that find their way into the human system through ingestion of food contaminated with them, and most of these food-borne viruses lack licensed antivirals. Vaccine development and immunization against several viruses including hepatitis A virus lack preventive and efficient antiviral therapies, as they are often challenged by counter-production of viral escape mutants that evade the immune system [1]. Also, the development of efficient and low-cost vaccines for economically unprivileged countries will be difficult, including countries with low prevalence where vaccine is recommended only for high-risk individuals [2]. Post-exposure of the human system to viral infections requires an efficient therapeutic approach to clear infections off the human system. It is imperative to develop effective antiviral therapeutic agents against these viruses, and interest in the employment of natural products as effective antiviral therapeutic agents has widely increased.
Flavonoids, polyphenols, saponin, proanthocyanins, polysaccharides, organic acids, proteins, polypeptides, and essential oils obtained from plant, animals or microorganisms can control and eradicate food-borne viral infections including hepatitis A [3, 4]. Over the past two decades, much effort has been aimed at identifying natural products, mostly of plant origin, to control food-borne viruses. Extracts from natural plants potentially have several applications, not limited to increasing the safety of food products and enhancing their quality, but also to serve as natural antiviral agents. For instance, these extracts possess several natural compounds that have been reported to demonstrate virucidal activity against surrogates of the human novovirus, a known food-borne virus [5]. In this section, we will discuss the antiviral therapeutic activities of several natural products and herbal medicines against hepatitis A viral infection.
2.1 Plant-based
2.1.1 Green tea extract
Green tea extract (GTE) is produced from the leaves of cultivated evergreen tea plant,
Recent
2.1.2 Grape seed extract
Grape seed extract (GSE),
GSE demonstrates antimicrobial activity against many food-borne bacterial pathogens including
However, this success may not be reproducible in the human system as the HAV strain, HM175, used during the study was a lab-adapted strain that was not sensitive to low pH as observed in the wild type strain. Again, some studies showed that GSE anti-HAV activity decreased in the presence of increasing concentrations of 0.02 and 0.2% dried milk or lettuce extract, where a higher dose is required to inactivate viral replication [24]. This implies that proteins could interfere with GSE antiviral activity and consequently decreases its effectiveness for treatments. Also, at concentrations ranging from 0.25 to 1 mg/ml GSE was said to diminish food-borne viral contamination levels on food produce (lettuce and peppers) without causing notable color changes on them. Therefore, GSE could be considered as a control measure for hepatitis A virus contamination on food produce before consumption, though may require a synergistic approach to combat persistent contamination of food produce.
The antiviral mechanisms of GSE are not yet well expounded. However, some studies suggest that resveratrol (RV), a nonflavonoid polyphenol found in grapes modulate some intracellular signaling pathways of the influenza virus [25]. In a study evaluating the effect of GSE on the adsorption and replicativity of HAV, it was revealed that treatment of the host cells with GSE prior to viral infection caused significant decline in HAV titer [26]. Post-viral infection of the host cells showed that HAV titers decreased insignificantly. This implies that GSE may have a moderate antiviral effect on adsorption of HAV on the host cells but with less effect on its replication [26]. Likewise, GSE was reported to down-regulate the expression of HIV entry coreceptors, implying that GSE may interrupt the binding of the virus to the cell receptors and in turn prevent HIV entry into normal lymphocytes [27]. Presently, GSE appears not to cause any structural damage to the viral capsid of HAV, rather it is more likely to exert greater antiviral activity by potentially blocking the host cell receptors and consequently prevents viral entry, replication, and infection.
2.1.3 Egyptian red sea seagrass extract
Seagrass is a critical part of the marine ecosystem and is generally distributed along the tropical and temperate coastal zones of the world [28]. It was said to be the only marine flowering plant that completes its lifecycle in sea water and often lives entirely submerged [29]. It is of ecological importance and is employed in folklore medicine for therapeutic purposes [30, 31]. The Egyptian Red Sea seagrass,
Compounds isolated from the sea grass crude extract have been shown to exhibit antioxidant and cytotoxic activities [28]. The crude extract demonstrated 100% inhibition of hepatitis A (HAV) and Herpes Simplex (HSV-1) viruses at 20 μg/mL. The antiviral activity of the crude extract against HAV was lost by fractionation, which could be explained by the synergistic action of several compounds in the crude extract [28]. Moreover, knowledge about the mechanism of anti-HAV activity of
2.1.4 Essential oils
Essential oils (EOs) are aromatic oily liquids derived from plant materials such as flowers, buds, seeds, leaves, branches, bark, grass, wood, fruit, and roots. Production of essential oils is majorly by steam distillation or by other methods such as solvent-heat extraction, pressing, fermentation or enfleurage [33]. Chemical components contained in these essential oils have been shown to be effective in combating pathogens [34, 35]. Few essential oils have been tested for their antiviral activities against food-borne viruses, particularly for HAV [36].
The anti-HAV activity of essential oils obtained from lemon (
Essential oil treatment of ATCC/HM-175 strain of HAV propagated in Frp3 cells revealed that after an hour incubation at room temperature, the greatest reduction in cell infectivity was observed for rosemary cineole EO, followed by grapefruit and lemon EOs, while orange EO, although reducing HAV infectivity was not statistically significant [33]. Orange and grapefruit EOs were found to be cytotoxic for Frp3 cells at concentrations that exceeded 0.1%, while lemon and rosemary cineole EOs were cytotoxic at concentrations exceeding 0.5% and 0.05%, respectively. Studies have also revealed that treatment of contaminated berries with all four EOs from lemon, orange, grapefruit and rosemary cineole reduced the viral titer of HAV at room temperature. Essential oil from rosemary cineole was shown to be the most effective, as it significantly reduced the HAV titer on the berries followed by essential oils from grapefruit and lemon respectively [33]. Anti-HAV activity of essential oil from orange was not significant though there was a reduction in the HAV titer on the berries. However, application of these essential oils alone may not be sufficient to decontaminate soft fruits (berries) laden with higher viral (HAV) loads [33]. Therefore, it is imperative that the essential oils be considered for use in food sterilization in combination with other treatments. It is also necessary to evaluate the minimum time it takes for EOs to reduce the maximum HAV loads on food produce so that adequate awareness is made to individuals to achieve food product safety before consumption [33]. Moreover, the mechanisms of anti-HAV activity of EOs have not yet been elucidated.
2.1.5 Korean red ginseng extract and ginsenosides
Ginseng (
Studies have shown that red ginseng extract and its ginsenosides inactivate food borne viruses such as the human norovirus (huNoV) surrogates (feline calicivirus and murine norovirus) [43]. A plaque assay performed on FRhK-4 cell lines pre-treated and co-treated with varied concentrations of Korean red ginseng (KRG) extract and purified ginsenosides (Rg1 and Rb1) showed that after inoculation of HAV HM-175 strain on the cell lines, KRG and the ginsenosides reduced significantly the HAV concentration [3, 4]. Korean red ginseng’s extract demonstrated cytotoxicity at concentration above 10 μg/mL, while the purified ginsenosides showed no cytotoxic activity even up to 40 μg/mL. Although co-treatment of cell lines with KRG and the ginsenosides exhibited significant reduction of HAV concentration in the study, anti-HAV activity of the pretreated cell lines was quite higher [3, 4]. Hence, pretreatment with ginseng may be effective in preventing HAV infection. Also co-treatment of cell lines with KRG and the ginsenosides may be evaluated in further study using
The anti-HAV mechanisms of KRG extract and its ginsenosides are not clearly defined. However, reports from studies have shown that HAV-infected FRhK-4 cells activate the 2′-5′ oligoadenylate synthetase/RNaseL pathway [48]. Activation of RNase L degrades viral RNA and cellular single-stranded RNA; hence, KRG extract and its ginsenosides may tour a similar path. In addition, previous studies have reported that ginseng polysaccharides and ginsenosides have the capacity to boost the production of cytokines via stimulation of immune cells [3, 4]. Interferons induced by this pathway also contribute to the antiviral response.
2.1.6 Blueberry juice and blueberry proanthocyanidins
Blueberries are said to contain about 88–261 mg of proanthocyanidin/100 g of edible portion according to the USDA database for flavonoid content (USDA Database for the proanthocyanidin Content of Selected Foods, August 2004). Again, blue berries possess some other structurally related polyphenols such as anthocyanins and flavonoids [49]. Blueberry juice and its polyphenols have been found to have promising health benefits which include their cardioprotective, neuroprotective, anticarcinogenic, antibacterial, and antiviral properties [50]. Ethanol and water extracts of blueberries were reported to decrease
Recent study evaluated the antiviral activities of Blueberry juice and its proanthocyanidins (B-type) against HAV and some of human norovirus surrogates [50]. It was shown that in suspension, HAV titers were reduced by proanthocyanidins (2 and 5 mg/ml) to undetectable levels after 30 min, and after 3 h by 1 mg/ml proanthocyanidins. HAV titer was only reduced to by 2 log PFU/ml with Blue berry juice at pH 2.8 and 37°C after 24 h [50]. FRhK4 cells pre-infected and post-infected with HAV (strain; HM175) were also investigated for viral adsorption and replication upon treatment with the Blueberry juice and isolated proanthocyanidins [50]. The Blue berry proanthocyanidins showed promising preventive capacity as it moderately reduced HAV infectivity in the pre-infected cells but did not affect the replication of HAV in the post-infected cells. Hence, the Blue berry proanthocyanidins interrupt HAV binding and entry much more than it can limit its replication in the host cells; suggesting that it’s antiviral efficacy is more preventive than therapeutic.
2.1.7 Aqueous extracts of Hibiscus sabdariffa calyces
Recent study evaluated the antiviral activity of
2.1.8 4-phenylcoumarin derivatives
Coumarin was first isolated from tonka beans,
A more recent study demonstrated that some coumarin derivatives possess anti-HAV activity. Newly modified 4-phenylcoumarin-based compounds were developed and evaluated for inhibition of 3C proteases [63]. Similar to other picornaviruses, HAV genome encodes a key processing protease, known as HAV 3C protease (HAV 3Cpro), which is a nonstructural cysteine protein responsible for the cleavage process within the viral polyprotein (250 kDa) that is critical for the replication process [63]. These proteases are responsible for processing the polyprotein precursor and also cleaving specific cellular factors needed for transcription and translation processes as well as nucleo-cytoplasmic trafficking in order to alter cell physiology to enhance viral replication; thus 3Cpro is vital to viral life cycle, making the viral 3C proteases choice targets for antiviral therapy [63]. Evaluation of the target compounds for their antiviral activity against hepatitis A virus revealed that the derivative, 1-(2-(2-Oxo-4-phenyl-2H-chromen-7-yloxy)acetyl) 4-ethylthiosemicarbazide had the most potent virucidal activity (IC50 = 3.1 μg/ml, TI = 83). The derivatives, 2-(2-Oxo-4-phenyl-2H-chromen-7-yloxy)-N′-(1-(4-chlorophenyl)ethylidene)acetohydrazide and 2-(2-Oxo-4-phenyl-2H-chromen-7-yloxy)-N′-(1-(4-bromophenyl)ethylidene)acetohydrazide demonstrated the strongest virustatic effects against HAV adsorption and replication, respectively (IC50 = 8.5 μg/ml, TI =88; IC50 = 10.7 μg/ml, TI = 91). Furthermore, studies reported that the three newly derived compounds were tested against HAV 3C protease and they exhibited remarkable inhibition effects (Ki = 1.903, 0.104 and 0.217 μM, respectively) indicating strong binding to HAV 3Cpro [63]. Also, the three compounds were docked within the pocket site of HAV 3C protease (PDB code: 2HAL) which illustrated that they had strong H-profiles with the amino acids Gly170 and Cys172. Findings suggested that the target compounds inhibited virus infection through the interrupting virus adsorption to the cell surface. This may have occurred via blocking of the cellular surface receptors by the target compounds which consequently led to an anti-HAV effect. Deduction from the post-treatment assay suggested that the target compounds inhibited the activities of some viral enzymes needed to complete the replication cycle or that they interfered with one or more steps in the viral life cycle.
2.1.9 Protamine, taxifolin and atropine
Protamine, a cationic peptide, is generally obtained from fish milt (spermatic cells) and is applied medically as a heparin antagonist, an injectable insulin-carrier, and recently as an antibacterial ingredient in some food products [68]. Taxifolin (dihydroquercetin) is a flavononol amply found in grapes, olive oil, citrus fruits and onions [69]. It has been shown to possess strong pharmacological activities, including antioxidative, hepatoprotective, cardioprotective, anti-diabetic, anti-inflammatory, antitumor, neuroprotective effects, and had played a remarkable role in the preclusion of Alzheimer’s disease [69]. Atropine is naturally occurring compound (alkaloid) majorly found in belladonna (Solanaceae) plants. It is a muscuranic receptor antagonist and is used medically to modulate muscular contractions and dilations which consequently regulate blood flow to cells and tissues [70].
A previous study investigated the inhibitory potential of protamine, atropine and taxifolin against HAV replication in PLC/PRF/5 cells, and found out that the trio exhibited some significant but not drastic effects on HAV replication [2]. Atropine demonstrated a concentration–dependent reduction in the infectivity of HAV but the antigenicity of the virus was not affected. HAV titer was reduced at the maximum concentration of 50, 59 and 50 μg/ml of protamine, taxifolin and atropine, respectively. It was suggested that further studies be done to determine the effect of these compounds on several multiplicities of HAV infection and also investigate possible synergistic effects of these compounds with other substances that have potential for clinical use against HAV infection [2]. The mechanisms of HAV titer reduction by the compounds are not yet clearly elucidated.
3. Adjunctive anti-HAV natural products
3.1 Japanese rice-koji miso extracts
Koji, also known as
3.2 Korean soy sauce
Conventional Korean soy sauce is generally made with germinated soybean, salt and water [74]. The soy sauce is fermented after cooking and crushing soybean, then mold it into a block form (Meju) with concurrent addition of salt (NaCl) and water before exposing it to natural conditions [3, 4]. The percentage salt content of traditional Korean soy sauce is around 16.3–20.8% NaCl [75]. Studies have shown that soy sauce possesses diverse biological activities such as angiotensin inhibitory, anti-platelet, anticarcinogenic, and anti-oxidant activities [74]. Also, there is a report about the antibacterial activity of soy sauce against
A study that evaluated the antiviral activity of the Korean soy sauce on HAV inoculated in raw fresh crabs (

4. Miscellaneous products
Duck hepatitis A virus type-1(DHAV-1) is a variant of hepatitis A virus that attacks ducks. It has been proposed that duck hepatitis A is a small animal model for the human hepatitis A [78]. It may be correct to say that antiviral agents against DHAV-1 will also demonstrate appropriate antiviral activity against human hepatitis A virus. Several natural agents have been under study to explore their antiviral potentials against DHAV-1 and they include phosphorylated
It was reported that
5. Future outlook
Currently, studies exploring potential anti-HAV natural products are still emerging and had attracted little attention, possibly because a vaccine has been developed to mitigate the spread of the viral infection to a considerable length of years. However, there is need for development of more efficient and effective anti-HAV therapeutic, prophylactic and adjunctive agents, and as at now, none has been licensed. Investigations into natural products with anti-HAV hold a promising outlook as several of them have demonstrated remarkable potential to control HAV infection and replication. In addition, studies should be aimed at mimicking more closely the features of the human hepatitis A virus
