This study was planned to evaluate the antiviral effect of lycopene against HSV-1 infection compared with acyclovir. The protocol of MTT (3-(4,5-Dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide) assay was done for the determination of cell viability and antiviral effect of lycopene as compared with acyclovir by measuring drug half-maximal Effective concentration (EC50) causing 50% inhibition in viral– induced cytopathic … Continue reading Research Journal of Pharmaceutical, Biological and Chemical Sciences
