Abstract

Background: Dengue is one of the most prevalent mosquito-borne diseases in Indonesia that lead to a spectrum
of disease, ranging from a flu-like illness to a life-threatening dengue shock syndrome. Despite its high
incidence and mortality rate, there is currently no antiviral drug available against dengue virus (DENV).
Therefore, research regarding the development of anti-viral to DENV is essential. The aim of this study was to
evaluate the antiviral activity of isobutyl gallate, a gallic acid derivative, against DENV in vitro.

Method: Various concentration of isobutyl gallate was added to DENV-2 strain New Guinea C (NGC) and
infected to Vero cell line. Inhibition of DENV replication as aligned with half inhibitory concentration (IC50)
value was determined by focus assay. Furthermore, the toxicity of isobutyl gallate that corresponds with
cytotoxic concentration (CC50) value was determined by MTT assay.

Result: Selectivity index (SI) value was defined as the ratio of CC50 to IC50. Isobutyl gallate showed no
cytotoxic effects against Huh 7 it-1 cells with CC50 values of 167.19 μg/mL and exhibited strong antiviral
activity with IC50 of 4.45 μg/mL, hence a significant SI value of 25.69.

Conclusion: Isobutyl gallate exerts potent antiviral activity against DENV.

Key word: Virus, Serotype, cytotoxic

Additional Information

Abstract. The abstract text should be formatted using 10 point Times or Times New Roman and indented 25
mm from the left margin. Leave 10 mm space after the abstract before you begin the main text of your article,
starting on the same page as the abstract. The abstract should give readers concise information about the content
of the article and indicate the main results obtained and conclusions drawn. The abstract is not part of the text
and should be complete in itself; no table numbers, figure numbers, references or displayed mathematical
expressions should be included. It should be suitable for direct inclusion in abstracting services and should not
normally exceed 250 words in a single paragraph. Since contemporary information-retrieval systems rely
heavily on the content of titles and abstracts to identify relevant articles in literature searches, great care should
be taken in constructing both.
