Type: article
Abstract: The antiviral activity of hydro-distilled e ssential oils obtained f rom Allium cepa L. (bulbs), Allium sativum (bulbs), Cuminum c yminum (seeds), Corriandrum sativum (herb and seeds), Petroselinum sativum (herb) and Ocimum basilicum (herb) cul tivated in E gypt against (HSV1) were tested by using cytopathicity (CPE) as say. African green monkey kidney (Vero) cell line (vi rus infected cells) were incubated with different levels of the seven essential oils(onion, garlic, cumin, coriander (herb and seeds), 50 parsley and basil) 200, 500 and 1000µg/ml and the EC were 1060, 320, 400, 2045, 341, 386 and 615 µg/ml, respectively. On the other hand the antioxidant activity of essential oils against DPPH radical were determined in vitro by treated w ith different concentrations of 7 essential oils 25, 50, 75, 100, 200 µ g/ml 50 and the percentages o f D PPH inhibition and EC were recorded.
