Luteoloside Acts as 3C Protease Inhibitor of Enterovirus 71 In Vitro.
Luteoloside is a member of the flavonoids family that exhibits several bioactivities including anti-microbial and anti-cancer activities. However, the antiviral activity of luteoloside against enterovirus 71 (EV71) and the potential mechanism(s) responsible for this effect remain unknown. In this st...

Collectively, the results from this study indicate that luteoloside can block 3C protease activity and subsequently inhibit EV71 production in vitro.http://europepmc.org/articles/PMC4752227?pdf=render |
