A standardized elderberry extract, Sambucol (SAM), reduced hemagglutination and inhibited replication of human influenza viruses type A/Shangdong 9/93 (H3N2), A/Beijing 32/92 (H3N2), A/Texas 36/91 (H1N1), A/Singapore 6/86 (H1N1), type B/Panama 45/90, B/Yamagata 16/88, B/Ann Arbor 1/86, and of animal strains from Northern European swine and turkeys, A/Sw/Ger 2/81, A/Tur/Ger 3/91, and A/Sw/Ger 8533/91 in Madin-Darby canine kidney cells. [] Key Method A placebo-controlled, double blind study was carried out on…

Inhibitory activity of a standardized elderberry liquid extract against clinically-relevant human respiratory bacterial pathogens and influenza A and B viruses
- Medicine, BiologyBMC complementary and alternative medicine
- 2011
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.

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.
Anti‐influenza virus activity of extract of Japanese wasabi leaves discarded in summer

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.
Anti‐viral and anti‐bacterial activities of an extract of blackcurrants (Ribes nigrum L.)

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.
SWINE FLU AND ITS POSSIBLE THERAPY

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.
Anti‐influenza virus activity of crude extract of Ribes nigrum L.
- Biology, MedicinePhytotherapy research : PTR
- 2003
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.
