Antiviral activities of plant-derived indole and β-carboline alkaloids against human and avian influenza viruses - Scientific Reports

The persistent evolution of drug-resistant influenza strains represents a global concern. The innovation of new treatment approaches through drug screening strategies and investigating the antiviral potential of bioactive natural-based chemicals may address the issue. Herein, we screened the...

Paper is called:
Antiviral activities of plant-derived indole and β-carboline alkaloids against human and avian influenza viruses
Yeah.

Intriguingly, Strychnine sulfate, Harmalol, Harmane, and Harmaline showed robust anti-H5N1 activities...

the highly promising compounds were then evaluated for antiviral efficacy through plaque reduction assay and consistently they revealed high viral inhibition percentages at non-toxic concentrations

FYI, I'm not comfortable here but wanted to post this for those who are.
Until next time!
Bye for now.

Thank you for sharing. I've been using harmala alkaloids/Syrian rue brews for their antiviral properties in recent years so it's good to have some confirmation of the veracity of this approach.

Yes, thank you for the post! I like to get to know as much as possible about harmala alkaloids/Syrian rue lately.
But I've stopped using it for a month due to that I started taking some other plats regularly that interfered with the harmalas.
