Ling Chen et al. Int J Biol Macromol. 2018 Aug.

Abstract

Viral infectious diseases are seriously endangering human health. In the search for effective antiviral drugs, people have found that polysaccharides have good antiviral activity. As an effective and low-toxic antiviral component, polysaccharides have broad prospects for medicinal use and are deserved for further study. Herein, the antiviral activity and action mechanisms of polysaccharides and their various derivatives were summed up and analyzed.

Keywords: Animal polysaccharides; Antiviral activity; Derivatives; Mechanisms; Microbial polysaccharides; Plant polysaccharides.
