Researchers from Thailand isolated bioactive compounds from 33 Thai medicinal plants and evaluated their inhibitory activities against dengue virus (DENV) infection. They reported their findings in an article published in the journal Chemical Biology & Drug Design.
Based on these findings, the researchers concluded that A. catechu is a great source of antiviral peptides against DENV infection that need to be further investigated.
