OBJECTIVE: To investigate the anti-HIV effects of Eucommia ulmoides Oliver, so as to provide experimental basis for searching a new efficacious drug for treatment of AIDS. METHODS: Using phytochemistry to isolate compounds from Eucommia ulmoides Oliver, the inhibitory activity of Samples on the HIV gp41 six-helix bundle formation was determined by a modified sandwich ELISA and PAGE. RESULTS: The Samples from Eucommia ulmoides Oliver had potent inhibitory activity on the HIV gp41 six-helix bundle formation. CONCLUSION: Eucommia uloides Oliver can inhibit HIV by targeting HIV gp41.
