S. purpurea inhibited HSV-1 ICP4, ICP8, and gC gene expression. Vero cells were mock infected or infected with HSV-1 at a MOI = 5 in the presence or absence of S. purpurea (40 µg/ml) added at 0, 1, 2, 4, and 6 h.p.i. Cells were harvested at 8 h.p.i. and total RNA was isolated. The level of HSV-1 ICP4, ICP8, and gC gene expression was analyzed by real-time PCR. Cellular GAPDH was used as an internal reference and normalization. Error bars indicate the standard deviation from three separate trials. Statistical analysis was performed using a paired t-test. Samples with statistically significant deviation relative to the untreated HSV-1 sample are indicated with asterisks (*p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, ***p < 0.005).
