Table 1 The reduction in the RSV and HSV-1 titers after MBS extract treatment. The virus titer was obtained by EPTT to determine the virus titer in (TCID50/ml)

  1. Note: aVirus titer reduction: the extract is considered active if the virus titer was reduced by 2 log. bReduction factor (RF): virus titer in the absence of drug over virus titer in the presence of drug. RF ≥ 103 strong antiviral activity, RF = 102 moderate antiviral activity and RF =101 slight antiviral activity
