Inhibitory effects of epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) combined with zinc sulfate and silver nanoparticles on avian influenza A virus subtype H5N1

CONCLUSIONS: The potentiated antiviral activity of EGCG by co-administering it with zinc II and AgNPs indicates potential as a multi-activity novel topical therapeutic agent against H5N1 flue. This mix makes the adaptation of the virus difficult, which helps to reduce infection resistance.PMID:33829450 | DOI:10.26355/eurrev_202103_25427
