Abstract
ABSTRACT The acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) is a result of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection which leads to severe suppression of immune functions. AIDS is a real threat to the health of mankind, and the search for effective therapies is still of great importance. However, besides the high cost, there are adverse effects and limitations associated with chemotherapy applied. Thus, herbal medicines are frequently used as an alternative therapy by individuals living with HIV. Numerous plant-derived compounds have been evaluated for inhibitory effects on HIV replication, and many coumarins have been found to inhibit different steps in HIV replication cycle. The aim of this review is to summarize research findings for herbal medicines, especially coumarins, which are endowed with the ability to inhibit HIV.
期刊介绍：
Biotechnology & Biotechnological Equipment (B&BE) is an international open access journal publishing cutting-edge research. A modern world requires modern biotechnology and nanobiology. The journal is a forum that provides society with valuable information for a healthy and better life and promotes “the Science and Culture of Nature”.
The journal publishes original research and reviews with a multidisciplinary perspective; expanded case reports with a focus on molecular medical research and advanced practice in evidence-based medicine are also considered.
