This would give some credence to the use of fresh cut flowers in face
masks during the black plague IF breathing a face full of cut flowers
allows one to breathe in these triterpenes like glycyrrhizic acid.
Enhancement of anti-herpetic activity of glycyrrhizic acid by
physiological proteins.
Author: Lampi, G : Deidda, D : Pinza, M : Pompei, R

Abstract:
Some enzymes present in biological fluids, such as lysozyme (LYS) and
lactoferrin (LAC), are known to possess antibacterial and antiviral
activity, against herpesviruses in particular.
It will be shown in this paper that their combination with a natural
triterpene, namely glycyrrhizic acid (GLA), gives significant results
in enhancing the antagonistic activity on HSV1 in in vitro assays.
Data elaboration was carried out by calculation of the FIC index
(fractional inhibitory concentration) for each combination of the
three compounds and by a three-dimensional evaluation of the
inhibiting combinatory effects, which indicated the percentage of the
synergistic action. A FIC index equal to or below 0.5 demonstrated a
significant synergistic effect between two substances.
Considering each single compound, the 50% inhibiting doses on viral
replication (ID50) were 252+/-53 microg/ml for LAC, 497+/-165 microg/
ml for LYS and 740+/-125 microg/ml for GLA. The combination of LAC and
GLA showed a clear synergistic effect, with a FIC index of 0.08 and a
potentiating activity which, for some doses, was up to 1.5 log10 of
difference (from about 5.5x10(6) to 10(5) pfu/ml).
The combinations of GLA and LYS, and LYS and LAC showed a less
significant synergistic activity.
These findings led to the conclusion that some physiological proteins,
even at concentrations usually present in some body fluids, may
enhance the anti-herpetic activity of a natural compound such as
GLA.
