The purpose of this review is to summarize research conducted on whole plant extracts against HSV-1 and/or HSV-2 in vitro and in vivo. The majority of the research reviewed was conducted in vitro using animal cell lines, and some studies used an animal model design.
1 lut 2021 · Echinacea have been shown to be effective against rhinoviruses [121], influenza virus [122], RSV [44], herpes virus [44], adenoviruses [44], and coronaviruses [43, 123]. Another compound, chicoric acid, has also shown potent antiviral effects against herpes simplex, influenza, enterovirus, hepatitis B virus, HIV, vaccinia virus, and vesicular ...
In vitro, a hydroethanolic extract prepared from freshly-harvested herb and root parts of Echinacea purpurea (Echinaforce®, EF) inhibited infectivity of human CoV-229E, highly pathogenic MERS- and SARS-CoV, as well as the newly identified SARS-CoV-2 (Signer et al., 2020).
Review. Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), is an ongoing public health emergency. The pathogenesis and complications advanced with infection mainly involve immune-inflammatory cascade. Therefore, the therapeutic strategy relie …
1 wrz 2021 · Echinacea supplementation may decrease the pro-inflammatory cytokines IL-6, IL-8, and TNF. • Echinacea supplementation may increase the anti-inflammatory cytokine IL-10. • Clinical trials assessing the effectiveness of Echinacea in the treatment of cytokine storm in COVID-19 may be warranted.
26 kwi 2022 · EF exhibited antiviral effects and reduced the risk of viral RTIs, including SARS-CoV-2. By substantially reducing virus loads in infected subjects, EF offers a supportive addition to existing mandated treatments like vaccinations. Future confirmatory studies are warranted.
The data suggest that Echinacea supplementation may be associated with a decrease in the pro-inflammatory cytokines IL-6, IL-8, and TNF, as well as an increase in the anti-inflammatory cytokine IL-10. The risk of bias in the included studies was generally high.
