Researchers from the U.S., Hong Kong, and Vietnam evaluated the anti-HIV and cytotoxic activities of compounds isolated from several Litsea plant species. The results of their study were published in The American Journal of Chinese Medicine.
Based on their findings, the researchers concluded that the Litsea species are good plant sources of antiviral compounds that can be used against serious infections, such as HIV.
