Figure 3

Inhibitory effect of the extracts prepared from leaves of R. parviflora on HIV-1 protease activity. Inhibition of HIV-1 protease by 50% ethanolic and aqueous extracts prepared from leaves of R. parviflora was determined by a commercial kit. Experiments were performed using both positive (HIV-1 protease with pepstatin treatment) as well as negative controls (HIV-1 protease without treatment). Data is expressed as percent inhibition of HIV-1 protease activity determined by dividing the difference in fluorescent intensity of experimental and negative control by negative control followed by multiplication with 100. Data is represented as mean ± SE of three independent experiments. Statistical significance between the extract treated groups as compared to untreated enzyme control group is presented by asterisk (*p < 0.001).
