Comparison of the Anti-Herpes Simplex Virus Activities of Propolis and 3-Methyl-but-2-enyl Caffeate

Abstract
The in vitro activity against herpes simplex virus type 1 of 3-methyl-but-2-enyl caffeate isolated from poplar buds or prepared by synthesis was investigated. Under conditions of one or multiple multiplication cycles, this compound, which is a minor constituent of propolis, was found to reduce the viral titer by 3 log10, and viral DNA synthesis by 32-fold.
