The Natural Product Eugenol Is an Inhibitor of the Ebola Virus In Vitro.

RESULTS:

Four compounds possessed EC50 values less than or equal to 11 μM. Of these, eugenol, had an EC50 of 1.3 μM against EBOV and is present in several plants including clove, cinnamon, basil and bay. Eugenol is much smaller and structurally unlike any compound that has been previously identified as an inhibitor of EBOV, therefore it may provide new mechanistic insights.

CONCLUSION:

This compound is readily accessible in bulk quantities, is inexpensive, and has a long history of human consumption, which endorses the idea for further assessment as an antiviral therapeutic. This work also suggests that a more exhaustive assessment of natural product libraries against EBOV and other viruses is warranted to improve our ability to identify compounds that are so distinct from FDA approved drugs.

Antibacterial, antifungal, and antiviral effects of three essential oil blends

Blend AB1 was also effective against H1N1 and HSV1 viruses. With this dual activity, against H1N1 and against S. aureus and S. pneumoniae notably, AB1 may be interesting to treat influenza and postinfluenza bacterial pneumonia infections. These blends could be very useful in clinical practice to combat common infections including those caused by microorganisms resistant to antimicrobial drugs.

Blends AB1 and AB2 were composed of equal parts (3.52% each) of Eucalyptus globulus CT cineol (leaf) and Cinnamomum zeylanicum CT cinnamaldehyde (bark), 3.00% of Rosmarinus officinalis CT cineol (leaf), 1.04% of Daucus carota CT carotol (seed), and 88.90% of Camelina sativa oil (seed).

Blend AB1 significantly reduced viral units for H1N1 and HSV1. For H1N1, a reduction greater than 99% (>2 log) was observed with 1% AB1 with a 60‐min contact time and a reduction greater than 99.99% (>4 log) with 80% and 40% AB1 after 60 min. For HSV1, a reduction greater than 99% was obtained with 1% and 40% AB1 after 60‐min contact time and a 99.99% reduction at 80% AB1 for 60 min. These results are consistent with previous work, which showed that E. globulus and C. zeylanicum EOs had antiviral activity on H1N1 and HSV1 (Astani et al., 2010; Vimalanathan & Hudson, 2014). For example, eucalyptus EO and its compounds 1,8 cineole and β‐caryophyllene exhibit an anti‐HSV1 activity by directly inactivating free‐virus particles and might interfere with virion envelope structures required for entry into host cells (Astani, Reichling, & Schnitzler, 2011; Astani et al., 2010). Commonly used antiviral medication (e.g., acyclovir and ganciclovir) inhibit DNA polymerases. Identifying substances with viral targets other than DNA polymerases are of particular interest to avoid resistance.

The antiviral and antimicrobial activities of licorice, a widely-used Chinese herb

"Licorice contains more than 20 triterpenoids and nearly 300 flavonoids. Among them, only two triterpenes, GL and GA have been reported to have antiviral effects. They can weaken virus activities by inhibiting virus gene expression and replication, reducing adhesion force and stress, and reducing HMGB1 binding to DNA. They can also enhance host cell activities by blocking the degradation of IκB, activating T lymphocyte proliferation and suppressing host cell apoptosis."

In vitro and in vivo activity of eugenol on human herpesvirus.

Eugenol was virucidal and showed no cytotoxicity at the concentrations tested. Eugenol-acyclovir combinations synergistically inhibited herpesvirus replication in vitro. Topical application of eugenol delayed the development of herpesvirus induced keratitis in the mouse model.

I would assume that if it looks like an old thing, the people who did the study were definitely aware of the old thing. They were testing to see if the old thing worked.

Antiviral activity of Australian tea tree oil and eucalyptus oil against herpes simplex virus in cell culture.

Australian tea tree oil exhibited high levels of virucidal activity against HSV-1 and HSV-2 in viral suspension tests. At noncytotoxic concentrations of TTO plaque formation was reduced by 98.2% and 93.0% for HSV-1 and HSV-2, respectively. Noncytotoxic concentrations of EUO reduced virus titers by 57.9% for HSV-1 and 75.4% for HSV-2.

In vitro antiviral activity of neem (Azardirachta indica L.) bark extract against herpes simplex virus type-1 infection

We report here that an aqueous extract preparation from the barks of neem plant Azardirachta indica acts as a potent entry inhibitor against HSV-1 infection into natural target cells. The extract from neem bark (NBE) significantly blocked HSV-1 entry into cells at concentrations ranging from 50 to 100 μg/ml.

We should have all the natural answers by now. Well organized and government approved.

But the FDA, the Food and Drug Act from long ago set up a bunch of rules that made that difficult to impossible.

That law needs to be changed.

Common generic natural things don't have big financial backers, they can't be patented, no monopoly, not monopoly profits. No one has the money to spend on the tests that are required to tell people about the health effects of their product.

So, we get trash. You can't put a lot of quinine in tonic water because too much will do some good.

There needs to be some sort of middle ground where maybe a beverage manufacturer can put a whole bunch of good stuff in a beverage and tell people about the health benefits without having to spend millions doing very long tests.

Trump can come up with a handful of great beverages, and call the drink Release - The Cures.

We see that Tonic Water and old time Root Beer and Birch Beer all have antiviral properties. Vinegar and baking soda and magnesium bicarbonate. A long list of essential oils. A long list of spices (essential oils derived from spices). Throw them together, test them, get them to the people and keep the people out of the hospitals.

“Four thieves” remedy is based on an ancient herbal formulation originating somewhere-in Europe with time spanning from 1413-1722. Due to its touted protective benefits, herbalists have passed along its recipe for hundreds of years.46-49

The legend states that a combination of various herbs, most often cinnamon, eucalyptus, rosemary, clove, and lemon as protecting four robbers from contracting the plague in France while rummaging through the houses of the infected sufferers. Their freedom was won by revealing to the King that the herbal vinegar, which they drank and sprinkled on themselves every two hours, had been their saving grace.46,49

I did a search on weed and it doesn't really look like it's antiviral. might actually be not good. some studies indicate that.

Yes. But.

They've been doing tests on the 5 spices without the vinegar, and those work too.

Yes, vinegar is antiviral - and cheap - adnd the government should tell us how well it works, and give it to us for free.

But. It does appear that those others, the cinnamon, clove, etc, one, do also help.

What is balsamic vinegar? Make vinegar with those 5 things in it. It would be more expensive, but people could buy it. Or buy the spices and add them to the free vinegar.
