Abstract
This study deals with evaluation of HIV-1 activity from Cestrum
nocturnum aerial parts extracts and investigation of phytoconstituents in
the plant extracts. Different extracts from Cestrum nocturnum aerial
parts, methanol 80%, ethyl acetate, butanol and aqueous extracts were
tested for their anti-HIV-1 activity using the syncytia formation assay. All
the extracts were weak active as anti-HIV-1 agents. Cestrum nocturnum
aerial parts extracts contained saponins, triterpenes and/or sterols
flavonoids, tannins and coumarins. The extracts from Cestrum
nocturnum aerial parts showed a mild anti-HIV-1 activity
