Table 2.. Minimum inhibition concentrations (MIC100) (µg/ml) of total herb fractions from Echinacea purpurea. against herpes simplex virus (HSV) and influenza virus (FV) and presence of photosensitizer (photosens.) are presented. Green tea and red clover were used as negative and positive controls for photosensitizers.
Table 3.. Phytochemical profiling by HPLC of Echinacea purpurea. extracts. The mean concentrations (µg/ml) of caftaric, chlorogenic (chlorog.), caffeic and cichoric acids, as well as cynarin, echinacoside (echin.) and tetraene 8/9 (tet. 8/9) are presented. (Relative Standard Deviation of analyses <5%).
