Results Dose response anti HBV revealed that methanolic extract C. asiatica indicated that 2.5 mg/mL concentrations was inhibitory to 0.75 pg/mL of HBV. Aqueous and methanolic extract of C. sinensis indicated that 0.5 mg/mL and 0.25 concentrations inhibited HBV, respectively. Interestingly, EGCG indicated 1.5 pg/mL HBV was inhibited by 25μg/mL. These concentrations were well tolerated by HepG2 cells and the non toxic concentration was up to 800 μg/mL.
