Abstract:Experiment on the effect of extracts from Phyllanthus urinaria on HBsAg production in PLC/PRF/5 human hepatoma cell line showed that the production was decreased markedly 48 hours after the treatment of cells with 2~4mg/ml Phyllanthus urinaria, especially in combination with 10-5 mol/L of Ara-A. The decrease of extracellular HBsAg excretion seems to stem from the inhibition of intracellular HBsAg formation.
