Abstract
Plant Derived Antivirals:A Potential Source of Drug Development
Plants have been the traditional source of active substances for most therapies. Plant derived natural compounds have received increasing attention for their antiviral potential. Typical example is constituents of Sarracenia purpurea which is found active particularly against Herpes Simplex Virus (HSV).
