 Green tea extract inhibits influenza virus by the process

 Japanese researchers recently used a green tea extract, developed a new anti-influenza drugs. Animal experiments suggest that the drug inhibited the effect of influenza virus infection, comparable to anti-influenza drug Tamiflu.
 According to the Japanese "Asahi Shimbun" website reported that the drug is Osaka University and Yokohama City Institute of Health researchers have used green tea catechin EGCG in the process made​​. Previously, it has to know the role of EGCG inhibits virus, but is safe to drink green tea, EGCG immediately in the body break down and can not play a role. To this end, the researchers EGCG combined with a puisne acid, it is not broken down in the body.
 The researchers processed the effect of EGCG inhibition of virus equivalent to anti-flu drugs Tamiflu. After processing of EGCG can indeed prevent viruses from infecting cells, even if the successful invasion of the virus, it also can inhibit cell proliferation.
