Abstract: AIM: To study the effects of the huangbaiye in the treatment of recurrent genital herpes. METHODS: The inhibitory activity of huangbaiye on HSV-2 was observed from the cells cultured in vitro in comparison with cyclo-C and acyclovir. RESULTS: The huangbaiye showed notable direct inhibitory effects on HSV-2 in vitro.The minimal effective concentration was 2.5 g·L -1, the therapeutic index was 3, the inhibitory activity of huangbaiye (2.5 g·L -1 ) was not less than that of cyclo-C, and the inhibition virus index was 2.83 in both huangbaiye and cyclo-C. CONCLUSION: Huangbaiye has inhibitory affect on HSV-2 in the treatment of recurrent genital herpes.
