Antiviral Activity of Resveratrol against Human and Animal Viruses by Yusuf Abba, Hasliza Hassim, Hazilawati Hamzah, Mohamed Mustapha Noordin

“…Its antioxidant effect is mainly elicited through inhibition of important gene pathways like the NF-κβ pathway, while its antiviral effects are associated with inhibitions of viral replication, protein synthesis, gene expression, and nucleic acid synthesis. Although the beneficial roles of resveratrol in several viral diseases have been well documented, a few adverse effects have been reported as well. …”
