In vitro evaluation of antiviral activity in carnivorous plant species.

Summary

Researchers found S. purpurea and other carnivorous plants have evolved antiviral activity, likely due to their plant-prey relationship. This trait may provide insight for developing new antiviral treatments.

Natural Immunomodulatory Agents as a Complementary Therapy for Poxviruses.

Summary

Researchers identified polyphenolics and isoquinoline alkaloids as potential antiviral agents against monkeypox virus by targeting viral elements. Natural extracts from traditional plants also show promise. Urgent molecular studies are needed to confirm their anti-poxvirus properties.
