Plant Growth Regulator Interferes with Hepatitis C

December 27th 2006 06:39
Rakic, et al., experimented with several compounds originally developed as plant growth regulators to see if they could interfere with the replication of the hepatitis C virus. One compound, origamicin, showed antiviral activity through inhibiting host proteins.

Hepatitis C is a virus that attacks the liver. Spread through infected blood, the virus shows no symptoms in 80% of infected people.

Adele,

This is a very important issue. Some say Hep C is more of a threat than AIDS
