A Study for development of a new polyherbal preparation for HIV-infected patients Tran Van Hien, Tran Thuy, Jorma Hinkula et al HongKong, 2006
HIV infection in Vietnam • The first case was found in 1990 in Ho Chi Minh city. • Prevention and treatment of HIV/AIDS are big problems with: • Increasing cases, difficult to control • 42,000 infected cases (12/2001) • 250,000 infected cases (estimated, 2005), 13,000 died • HAART is very expensive 2.53 million VND/month/patient • Others
Treatment of HIVAIDS HIV/AIDS: complicate, multistage not any single therapy can save patient HAART: great achievements in the recent decades, can not affordable in developing countries, side effects with pathological disorders, continuing deficiency of immune system, of nervous system.
Herbal medicines for HIV/AIDS • Anti HIV activity: • Anti HIV replication • HIV enzym, protein intervention • Intervention in virus – cell link • Improving general health status, protection/ promoting immune response • Unfortunately infection • Regulation of oxidative balance
Oxidative stress in HIV infection • Play a role in pathogenic and developing process of HIV infection. • Oxidative stress antioxidant system. Over production of ROS injures DNA of lymphocytes.
CD4 count: - HIV(+): 394/mm3 - HIV(+)P: 360/mm3 - HIV(+)V: 460/mm3
Lymphocytes are sensitive • Apoptosis is initiated by oxidative stress. A cause of cell loss in HIV/AIDS patients. • Changed bases of DNA apoptosis. • Herbal medicines: anti HIV + antioxidant, protect lymphocytes.
HTA formulation 4 herbs: tonifying the Blood and the Energy (immunomodulatory activity) 4 herbs: antibacterial, anti HIV Have been used in treatment of immunodeficient cases (cancers after or undergoing radiotherapy, prolong infections).
In mice exposing Cobalt-60 Extract HTA1: water extract Extract HTA2: alcohol extract with some treatments

Protective effects of HTA2 on blood peripheral lymphocyte against H2O2 – induced injury 20 samples from healthy people Protocol a: cell toxification by 10-8M H2O2 +H2O2 wash +/- PHA +/- HTA + Thymindin Lymphocytes Cells Cell measurement (Scincilator) (Packard) Protocol b: recovering effect
Safety of HTA product * Acute toxicity: 5 – 45 g/kg body weight/day Subchronic toxicity: 500mg/kg/day 2000mg/kg/day 8 weeks • Biochemical, Hematological indices • Histological examinations
A clinical study HIV infected, who received the drugs voluntarily Control group: 17 Study group: 21 (20 males, 1 female Ages: 21-30 yrs in 52% (17 – 48 yrs old) Infection: 5 year 10 year Infection route: drug addiction occupied 68,4% T.CD4 500 cells/mm3
Others BRC: change was not significant increased in the study group P < 0.05 at the 6 month cooperation between 2 groups ALS, AST: no change Protective effect in T-CD4 : better in group with TCD4 > 200 cells/mm3.
Samples were tested in vitro against 2 Lab HIV – 1 strains (HIV-1 III3and SF2 in Jurkat T cells and in hu PHA/IL-2 activated PBMC) >80% toxicity Frations HIV-1 IIIB cells hu PBMC Jurkal cell line F3 30 – 60 g/ml 20 – 60 g/ml F6 60 – 120 g/ml 125 – 250 g/ml
