Antiviral properties of the mixed plant extract

We have analyzed the antiviral properties of a new dry phyto-extract, consisting of the following medicinal plants with a hepatoprotective effect: Hypecoum erectum L., Hedysarum alpinum L., Glycyrrhiza uralensis Fisch., Calendula officinalis L., Scutellaria baicalensis Georgi. It has been revealed in vitro the absence of the cytopathogenic effect of the dry extract and its components. The cell cultures after exposure to the complex plant supplement and its isolated components displayed the absence of cytopathogenic effects. The study of the cytotoxic and antiviral properties of “Gipeliv” extract and its components by means of a microtechnique has show a significant antiviral activity, while the most prominent effects on viral replication was found in Glycyrrhiza uralensis Fisch. and Calendula officinalis L. samples.
