hypericin and Cytomegalovirus

hypericin has been researched along with Cytomegalovirus in 4 studies

Cytomegalovirus: A genus of the family HERPESVIRIDAE, subfamily BETAHERPESVIRINAE, infecting the salivary glands, liver, spleen, lungs, eyes, and other organs, in which they produce characteristically enlarged cells with intranuclear inclusions. Infection with Cytomegalovirus is also seen as an opportunistic infection in AIDS.

"Hypericin has potent activity against HIV and other viruses, is compatible with anticoagulants used to store blood, and does not affect blood chemistry when stored for 21 days."3.69Hypericin: an answer for safer blood? ( Kuhn, D, 1995)
"Hypericin, a photodynamic plant quinone, readily inactivated murine cytomegalovirus (MCMV), Sindbis virus, and human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1), especially on exposure to fluorescent light."3.68Antiviral activities of hypericin. ( Hudson, JB; Lopez-Bazzocchi, I; Towers, GH, 1991)
