Antiherpetic activity of s1, an algal derived sulphated galactan

The sulphated galactan S1 isolated from the red seaweed Pterocladia capillacea proved to be a selective antiviral compound against herpes simplex virus types 1 and 2 (HSV-1 and HSV-2), human cytomegalovirus and pseudorabies virus. No cytotoxicity was observed with S1 at concentrations about 500 μg/m...
