Water and methanol extracts of 30 traditional medicinal plants, collected in Indonesia, were tested for their anti HSV-1 activity. The extracts of eight plant species showed potent activity on the plaque assay at a concentration of 100 mg/mL. The therapeutic efficacy of seven selected plants was dem
By bioactive-guided fractionation of a water extract of Cordia spinescens, magnesium lithospermate (1), calcium rosmarinate (2) and magnesium rosmarinate (3) were isolated as potent inhibitory substances against HIV-1 reverse transcriptase (RT) with IC 50 values of 0.8, 5.8 and 3.1 M, respectively.
The Amplicor HCV Monitor test and the Quantiplex HCV RNA 2.0 (bDNA) assay are two commercially available assays for the quantification of hepatitis C virus (HCV) RNA in clinical samples. A direct comparison of the two assays was carried out using sera frozen previously from patients known to be chro
