TI - Antiviral properties of extract of opuntia streptacantha N2 - An extract of the cactus plant Opuntia streptacantha inhibited intracellular virus replication and inactivated extracellular virus. Inhibition of virus replication also occurred following pre-infection treatment -- a favourable finding in terms of in-vivo limitation of virus disease. There was inhibition of both DNA and RNA virus replication, for example, herpes simplex virus, equine herpes virus, pseudorabies virus, influenza virus, respiratory syncytial virus and human immunodeficiency virus, with normal protein synthesis in uninfected cells at extract concentrations which were 15-fold in excess of 50 UR - https://drive.google.com/file/d/1e0ZCiJlwdi7OGdVoUrrvXXk6kAv-dTNd/view?usp=drivesdk ER -
