An aqueous acetone extract from the galls of Guiera senegalensis was screened for in vitro antiviral activity against fowlpox virus (FPV). Cytopathic effect (CPE) inhibition and plaque inhibition assays were used to show presence of antiviral effects against FPV, whilst cytotoxicity assays established the relative safety of the extract for cells in vitro. Phytochemical analyses revealed the presence of phenolic compounds including flavonoids, tannins and anthocyanins as well as steroids and alkaloids. Thin-layer chromatographical (TLC) analysis also revealed the presence of quercitrin, quercetin, kaempferol, apigenin, rutin, gallic acid as well as unknown flavonoids and unknown phenolic acids. The antiviral effect of the extract was partially attributed to phenolic components including flavonoids. (C) 2004 Elsevier Ireland Ltd. All rights reserved.
