Protective Effect of Flavonoids from <i>Ohwia caudata</i> against Influenza a Virus Infection
To identify new potential anti-influenza compounds, we isolated six flavonoids, 2′-hydroxyl yokovanol (<b>1</b>), 2′-hydroxyl neophellamuretin (<b>2</b>), yokovanol (<b>3</b>), swertisin (<b>4</b>), spinosin (<b>5</b>), and 7-methyl-apigeni...
