Anti-SARS-CoV-2 Activity of a Polyphenolic Complex from Maackia amurensis

  • Published:
Bulletin of Experimental Biology and Medicine Aims and scope

We studied the ability of the polyphenolic complex from Maackia amurensis, the active substance of Maksar, to inhibit the cytopathogenic effect induced by the SARS-CoV-2 and to reduce the concentration of viral RNA in infected Vero E6 cells. Polyphenolic complex showed significant anti-SARS-CoV-2 activity and effectively inhibited viral replication by direct action on viral particles and the early stage of viral infection.
