ARTICLE INFO ABSTRACT Keywords: hepatitis B virus medicinal plants HBs Ag hepatoprotective activity HEPATITIS B TREATMENT IN LIGHT OF NATURAL SOURCES Review article Hepatitis B virus causes acute and chronic inflammation of liver which may leads to hepatocellular carcinoma, cirrhosis and death. Chronic hepatitis B is usually accompanied by the presence of detectable hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) in the blood for greater than 6 months. The presence of hepatitis B envelope antigen (HBeAg) is related to higher rates of viral replication leading to more infection. Objective: Currently vaccination for prevention of hepatitis B is present and its treatment includes pegylated interferon α, lamivudine, telbivudine and entecavir (nucleoside analogues) and adefovir (nucleotide analogues). This treatment is partially effective and has significant dose dependent side effects and resistance after long term use. Hence, there is a need to develop new more safe and potent agents against hepatitis B from medicinal plants. This review illustrates the description of medicinal plants, family, their active ingredients, parts and extracts used to treat hepatitis B by their mechanisms. The pharmaceutical companies are striving to discover appropriate alternative and natural inhibitors of targeting different steps of HBV life cycle, because single plant contains an invaluable number of active ingredients which could help in the manufacture of pharmaceutical grade proteins and has wide spectrum of antiviral activity. However, information of antiviral activity of plants is still inadequate. 1. Introduction Hepatitis B, a devastating ailment is distressing over 2 billion population all over the world. Amongst those more than 360 million people suffering from chronic hepatitis B (Lavanchy, 2004). Every year, the death rate is 0.5-1.2 million people owing to chronic hepatitis, cirrhosis as well as liver cancer according to WHO. In Pakistan, over 15 million peoples have been infected with hepatitis B because of ignorance of vaccination with carrier rate of 3-5% (Ott, 2012). HBV is transmitted via blood transfusion, use of unhygienic tools for shaving, unsterilized instruments during surgery as well as use of contaminated syringes. Hepatitis is spread via sexual means owing to several sexual partners as well as via diseased mother to children (Enemuor et al., 2012). Patients undergoing dialysis for more than two years are at greater risk for hepatitis (Wasley et al., 2008). HBV having eight genotypes such as A to H are predominant in numerous areas globally. Genotype A is prevalent globally; B along with C exists in Asia; D in South Europe; E in Africa as well as F and G in USA. Currently, in Central America genotype H has been invented. White patients with genotype A exhibit greater reduction of HBeAg as well as HBV DNA and unceasing removal of HBeAg seroconversion as compare to patients with genotype D. Patients having genotype B in Asia, hepatocellular carcinoma (Sumi et al., 2003). exhibit HBeAg seroconversion in early age are at greater risk of developing hepatitis and demonstrate superior response to interferon as compare to patients of genotype C. Patients having genotype B are different from those with genotype C in developing Vaccination against hepatitis B is available but infection remains prominent in many countries such as India, eastern Asia and Pakistan (Chu et al., 2013). Currently several therapeutic agents for instance pegylated interferon α, telbivudine, lamivudine, adefovir (nucleotide analogues) as well as entecavir (nucleoside analogues) have been used however owing to their adverse effects and resistance, medicinal plants have been used to cure hepatitis B (Papatheodoridis et al., 2008). Phyto medicines derived from plants are used throughout the world particularly in developed countries such as in Europe and United States. Pharmaceutical industries are more interested in phytomedicines due to their importance and demand worldwide. The active ingredients (e.g. terpenoids, lignans, phenolic compounds, polyphenols and tannins etc.) obtained from plants are proved to be effective against HBV (Huang et al., 2014; Aftab et al., 2015). Therefore, this review focuses on traditional plants used for treatment of HBV. Numerous medicinal plants having active ingredients along with classes for instance terpenoids, alkaloids, lignans, flavonoids as well as polyphenols, have specific mechanism of actions on HBV life cycle are demonstrated in Table 1.

PathogenesisofHepatitisBvirus(HBV)

HBV,amoderatelydoublestranded(ds)DNAvirushas

family of hepadnaviridae. This virus contains nucleocapsid

having DNA genome of 3.2 kb and DNA polymerase.

AssembledhepatitisBcoreantigenformnucleocapsidwhich

is protected by lipid envelope comprising of hepatitis B

envelope antigen (HBeAg) as well as hepatitis B surface

antigen (HBsAg) (Baumert et al., 2014). HBV replication

beginswhenvirusentershostcellandreleasesitsDNAinto

nucleus. First step is attachment of virus having pre S1

receptorsatitssurfaceandheparinsulfateproteoglycanson

livercells.Thenviruspenetrateshepatocytesviaendocytosis

or fusion which depends on host factors involving the

endosomesynthesis.Nucleocapsidofvirus,havingpartially

double stranded relaxed circular (rcDNA), is secreted into

cytoplasmpriortoreachingtonucleusofhepatocytes.Capsid

brings itsrcDNAtonucleusbynuclearporecomplex(NPC)

(Ezzikourietal.,2014)whichisduetoassociationbetween

nuclear localization signaling (NLS) in C-terminal of capsid

protein and nuclear import receptors (importin-α and β).

AfterthatrcDNAisconvertedintocovalentlyclosedcircleDNA

(cccDNA) via viral DNA polymerase. cccDNA is used as

template forsynthesizingofpregenomicRNAwhichat that

encoding entirely new viral proteins. During the reverse

transcriptionofpregenomicRNA intocomplementaryDNA,

thepregenomicRNAistainted.InitiallyHBVsurfaceproteins

are formed along with polymerized in rough endoplasmic

(LuandBlock,2004).

HepatitisBvirusandmedicinalplants

Boehmeria nivea (BN) is traditionally used for curing

hepatitis B. For screening of activity of ethanolic extract of

leavesofBNagainsthepatitisBvirusinvivo,viremiaHBVmice

hepatomaGtumorcelllines(HepG22.2.15)forperiodof13

and intraperitoneally effectively inhibited the formation of

HBVDNAandHBsAg.Howeverintraperitonealadministration

suppressedserumHBVDNAlevelsmorethanoral(Changet

al., 2010). In earlier investigations, ethanolic extract of the

rootsofBNcoulddiminishthesupernatanthepatitisBvirus

(HBV)DNAinHBVproducingHepG22.2.15cells.Alsoethyl

acetateandchloroformfractionsofBNleavesinhibitedHBeAg

and HBsAg secretion in cells of HepG 2.2.15 without any

observed cytotoxic effects (Weil et al., 2014). Phyllanthus

amarus suppressed hepatitis B virus polymerase activity,

decreased episomal hepatitis B virus DNA content and

suppressedreleasingofvirusintocellsofHepG22.2.15.Asa

consequence it inhibited HBV replication. G26 hepatitis B

virus transgenic mice did not produce serum HBsAg but

neither HBcAg nor virion particles were used to study

transcriptional control mechanisms. The hepatic HBsAg

mRNA levels were decreased, indicating transcriptional or

post-transcriptionaldown-regulationofthetransgene(Leeet

al., 1996). Alternanthera philoxeroides have valuable

Medicinal plants have certain components that targets

The compound LPRP-Et acquired from Liriope

platyphylla roots suppressed HBV bymeans ofmonitoring

gene expression besides DNA replication via viral proteins

which inhibited NF-kB (nuclear factor kappa B) pathway
