Antiviral activities of Schizonepeta tenuifolia Briq. against enterovirus 71 in vitro and in vivo

Abstract No effective drug is currently available for treatment of enterovirus 71 (EV71) infection. Schizonepeta tenuifolia Briq. (ST) has been used as a herbal constituent of traditional Chinese medicine. We studied whether the aqueous extract of Schizonepeta tenuifolia Briq (STE) has antiviral act...
