Abstract
Panax ginseng extract, having a novel type of pharmacological action classified as adaptogen, was found to be effective against experimental viral infection in mice. Ginseng, administerd orally in repeat doses prior to and after challenge with Semliki forest virus, was able to protect 34-40% of test animals. In combination with 6-MFA, an interferon inducing antiviral agent of fungal origin, ginseng could protect 82-100% of the animals under conditions when the inducer alone gave a significantly lower rate of protection.
