Evaluation of the synergistic effect in combination of C. cervicornis extract or dolastane with ribavirin on ZIKV or CHIKV replication. (A) Inhibition of ZIKV replication. (B) Inhibition of CHIKV replication. Monolayers of Vero cells were infected with ZIKV at an MOI of 0.1 and subsequently treated with extract and Ribavirin sub-doses (0.5 µg/mL and 0.5 µM, respectively) and concentrations of 10 µg/mL and 10 µM. In addition, the dose combination was also performed at both concentrations for synergism assessment. Evaluation of the synergistic antiviral effect was determined by inhibition of cytopathic effect by plaque assay. Data are presented as the percentage of virus titer when compared to control cells and are expressed as the mean of three experiments ± standard error. Statistical significance following a one-sample t-test is indicated (*p < 0.05; **p < 0.001).
