Antiviral activity of carrageenans from marine red algae

Three carrageenan representatives of each structural type: λ- and ι –family (Gigartina acicularis), ι-family (Euchema denticulatum) and κ –family (Kappaphycus cottonii) have been tested for their in vitro antiviral activity. The carrageenans proved to be potent inhibitors of herpes human virus type...

description Three carrageenan representatives of each structural type: λ- and ι –family (Gigartina acicularis), ι-family (Euchema denticulatum) and κ –family (Kappaphycus cottonii) have been tested for their in vitro antiviral activity. The carrageenans proved to be potent inhibitors of herpes human virus type 1 (HHV-1) and Poliovirus. The best results were obtained with carrageenans from Gigartina acicularis and Euchema denticulatum, which are more sulfated than those from Kappaphycus cottonii. The selective index values (CC50 /ID50 ) ranged from more than 22 to more than 545 for HHV-1 and more than 6.6 to more than 32 for Poliovirus. No citotoxic effects were observed. At 0.75 mg/ml, none of the carrageenans tested showed a virucidal activity against HHV-1 or Poliovirus. Carrageenans from Euchema denticulatum (ι- family) and Gigartina acicularis (λ- and ι –family) exerted their antiviral effect via, in part, by a lower inhibition of the virus attachment and by the interference in a subsequent stage of the virus replicative cycle. The κ-carrageenan from Kappaphycus cottonii exerted its antiviral effect mainly by a lower inhibition of the virus attachment. In cultures treated with carrageenans from Euchema denticulatum (ι-family) and Gigartina acicularis (λ- and ι –family), the HHV-1 viral DNA synthesis had a reduction of threefold and twofold with 0.75 mg/ml, respectively.
