Research background

The world suffers from the ongoing effects of SARS-CoV-2 caused by emerging virus variants that can evade vaccine-induced immune protection

The School of Chinese Medicine of the University of Hong Kong Medical College released the latest study on September 22, which found that the extract of natural Chinese medicine chicken blood vine has an inhibitory effect

Research Methods

The University of Hong Kong School of Medicine research team screened for a Chinese herbal extract from a species called Dun's Pinus aureus (SSD) to fight various types of viruses, including SARS-CoV-1, SARS-CoV-2, H5N1 influenza and HIV-1

Since SSP is produced at low cost GMP, it has great potential

Research implications

As a potential antiviral drug, SSP has played a large role

These findings suggest that SSP may have extensive antiviral activity against different types of respiratory viral infections
