Abstract

Graptopetalum paraguayense E. Walther (GP) is a traditional Chinese herbal medicine belonging to the Crassulaceae family As herbal medicine, GP possesses several biological/pharmacological perspectives. It was found that GP aqueous extracts exhibit anti-inflammatory and hepatoprotective, antioxidant, anti-hypertensive and antihyperglycemic, immunomodulatory, antineoplastic, antiviral and antibacterial activities. The GP contains in the high range levels phenolic compounds and anthocyanins. Despite the intense study of the plant, little data exist regarding its chemical composition. It was found that the GP aqueous extract has no cytotoxic effect on RD and Lep cells. The extract effectively inhibited herpes simplex virus (HSV) replication in dose-dependent manner moderate activity as well as Gram-positive bacterial strains.
