Eschborn - The past influenza season has shown once again that Influenzaviren show a permanent unpredictable menace. Influenzaviren are true quickchange artists: They succeed over and over again in tricking the immune system by changes of her surface proteins. Hence, still the need in the antiviralen active substances with a possibly wide active spectrum which lead at best not to resistance is big. Now investigations of Prof. Dr. Stephan Pleschka in the institute of medical virology, university of Giessen, have proved that pandemische H1N1 Influenzavirus is restrained by mustard oils from nasturtium and horseradish in his increase in human lung cell cultures actually about 90 percent. ? Because for the mustard oils also with long time therapy up to now no resistance was observed, other investigations are to the evaluation of the antiviralen potential of big interest and were already begun ?, according to Pleschka.
Mustard oils are secondary plant materials, the plants for her own protection, e.g., before food damages or as a defense against pathogenic micro-organisms produ-zieren. They seem especially richly in the family of the Kreuzbl?tler (Brassicaceae). On account of the antiinfektiven activity of the mustard oils suitable plants ? are used under it also the nasturtium and the horseradish root ? already since centuries as remedial plants.
