Inhibitory activity of a standardized elderberry liquid extract against clinically-relevant human respiratory bacterial pathogens and influenza A and B viruses
TLDR
It was shown that a standardized elderberry liquid extract possesses antimicrobial activity against both Gram-positive bacteria ofStreptococcus pyogenes and group C and G Streptococci, and the Gram-negative bacterium Branhamella catarrhalis in liquid cultures, and an inhibitory effect on the propagation of human pathogenic influenza viruses. Expand
Anti-influenza virus activity of two extracts of the blackcurrant (Ribes nigrum L.) from New Zealand and Poland.
TLDR
The extract of Blackcurrant could disinfect all of 4 IFV strains the authors examined and showed definite potential for use as a disinfectant and antiseptic agent to prevent IFV infection. Expand
Anti-Influenza Virus Effects of Elderberry Juice and Its Fractions
TLDR
CJ-E had a beneficial effect by the stimulating immune response and preventing viral infection, and high-molecular-weight fraction HM, which contained acidic polysaccharides, showed relatively strong defense against IFV infection. Expand
Anti‐influenza virus activity of extract of Japanese wasabi leaves discarded in summer
TLDR
A potent anti-influenza virus activity was discovered in summer leaves of Japanese wasabi, and ethanol extracts inhibited influenza virus replication regardless of the hemagglutinin antigen type. Expand
Anti‐viral and anti‐bacterial activities of an extract of blackcurrants (Ribes nigrum L.)
TLDR
The blackcurrant extract still showed antiviral and antibacterial activities after the pH had been made neutral with sodium hydroxide, suggesting that these activities are not the result of acidic reactions or of components precipitated at a neutral pH. Expand
SWINE FLU AND ITS POSSIBLE THERAPY
TLDR
The most frequently reported symptoms in this disease are fever, cough, and sore throat; 25% of patients report diarrhoea, and a further 25% report vomiting, and myalgia and joint pains may also be present. Expand
The effect of Sambucol, a black elderberry-based, natural product, on the production of human cytokines: I. Inflammatory cytokines.
TLDR
It is concluded that, in addition to its antiviral properties, Sambucol Elderberry Extract and its formulations activate the healthy immune system by increasing inflammatory cytokine production and might therefore be beneficial to the immune system activation and in the inflammatory process in healthy individuals or in patients with various diseases. Expand
Anti‐influenza virus activity of crude extract of Ribes nigrum L.
TLDR
Proven anti‐influenza virus effects of the extracts were shown, and virus titres in culture fluids of the cells treated with 100 μg/mL of Kurokarin extract were completely suppressed, indicating that the extract inhibited the virus release from the infected cells. Expand
Anti-influenza activity of elderberry (Sambucus nigra)
Abstract Elderberry extract is effective in treatment of flu. This study aimed to determine the mechanism of action of elderberry and its primary active compound, cyanidin 3-glucoside (cyn 3-glu),… Expand
Antiviral activity of Sambucus FormosanaNakai ethanol extract and related phenolic acid constituents against human coronavirus NL63

  • 2019
TLDR
Investigating the antiviral activity of Sambucus Formosana Nakai stem ethanol extract and some phenolic acid constituents revealed that caffeic acid could be the vital component with anti-HCoV-NL63 activity, and the finding could be helpful for developing antivirals against HCoVs. Expand

Antiviral activity of the infusion (SHS‐174) from flowers of Sambucus nigra L., aerial parts of Hypericum perforatum L., and roots of Saponaria officinalis L. against influenza and herpes simplex viruses
The SHS‐174 preparation, a lyophilized infusion from flowers of Sambucus nigra L., aerial parts of Hypericum perforatum L., and roots of Saponaria officinalis (100 g; 70 g; 40 g) exhibited an… Expand
Inhibition of influenza virus sialidase and anti-influenza virus activity by plant flavonoids.
TLDR
Results suggest that flavone, which has potent influenza virus sialidase inhibitory activity, may have anti-influenza virus activity. Expand
Reduction in fever and symptoms in young adults with influenza A/Brazil/78 H1N1 infection after treatment with aspirin or amantadine.
TLDR
Individuals who present to a physician during an influenza A epidemic with characteristic symptoms will experience symptomatic benefit from amantadine treatment, with negligible toxicity. Expand
Related studies of a recombinant influenza-virus vaccine. I. Derivation and characterization of virus and vaccine.
TLDR
The isolation of a recombinant (X-31) antigenically indistinguishable from the Aichi virus but with hemagglutinin-yielding capacity in the chick embryo comparable to that of PR8 demonstrates the feasibility of using genetic recombination for the deliberate design of vaccine viruses with the desired optimal characteristics. Expand
The "in vivo" production of "new" influenza viruses. 3. Isolation of recombinant influenza viruses under simulated conditions of natural transmission.
TLDR
Experimental evidence that recombination can occur between influenza viruses from man and lower animals under simulated conditions of natural transmission in vivo is provided and may offer an explanation for the origin of new strains of pandemic influenza viruses. Expand
Recovery of drug-resistant influenza A virus during therapeutic use of rimantadine.
TLDR
It is indicated that drug-resistant influenza A virus (H3N2) can be recovered from rimantadine-treated children and adults as early as 2 days after starting treatment, but that rimantADine retains a net therapeutic benefit compared with that of placebo. Expand
Genetic relatedness between the new 1977 epidemic strains (H1N1) of influenza and human influenza strains isolated between 1947 and 1957 (H1N1).
TLDR
The genetic homology between various HIN1 strains was determined by hybridization techniques using isolated RNA segments compatible with the view that an HIM strain from 1950 survived somewhere with few mutations for 27 years and then reappeared as a virus pathogenic for man. Expand
Emergence and apparent transmission of rimantadine-resistant influenza A virus in families.
TLDR
It is concluded that when index patients are treated concurrently, rimantadine is ineffective in protecting household members from influenza A infection and rapid selection and apparent transmission of drug-resistant influenza A viruses can occur. Expand
Influence of amantadine resistance mutations on the pH regulatory function of the M2 protein of influenza A viruses.
TLDR
Estimated differences in trans Golgi pH based on the degree of conversion of HA to the low-pH form, or complementation of differences in pH stability of mutant HAs, indicate that changes in M2 may influence pH within the transport pathway by as much as 0.6, providing further evidence that M2 regulates transmembrane pH gradients in thetrans Golgi.
