The truth is that the inhibition capacity of these floors against him dengue were verified through in vitro studies, from which it is planned to purify the extracts to obtain active molecules that may be useful to design antivirals against the virus.
If this is achieved, this simple discovery It will allow the possibility of designing drugs that have a high antiviral load, thus making it difficult for the virus to spread. dengue.
