In order to develop novel therapies, many plant extracts have been tested for antiviral activity. Over the last decade, laboratory research has found that many essential oils diminish viral infectivity. For example, Melissa officinalis oil decreases infectivity of enveloped herpesviruses [12]. Essential oils from hyssop, thyme or ginger have inhibitory effects on herpes simplex virus type 2 (HSV-2) in vitro as determined by plaque assay in RC-37 cells [13].
With regard to IAV, Melaleuca alternifolia essential oil has antiviral activity against influenza PR8 virus and that antiviral activity has been principally attributed to a specific component, terpinen-4-ol [14]. The anti-IAV activity is manifested by inhibition of virus-induced cytopathogenicity. Also, a polyphenol rich extract (CYSTUS052) from the Mediterranean plant Cistus incanus exerts potent anti-influenza virus activity in A549 or MDCK cell cultures infected with IAV. On a molecular basis the protective effect of CYSTUS052 appears to be mainly due to binding of the polymeric polyphenol components of the extract to the virus surface, thereby inhibiting binding of the hemagglutinin to cellular receptors [15]. Echinacea purpurea extract has activity against highly pathogenic avian influenza virus, via inhibition of cell receptor binding activity of the virus [16].
