Breaking News: Native Plant ‘Enjoyment’ Shows Promise Against Viruses
In a groundbreaking discovery, researchers have unveiled the antiviral and anti-inflammatory effects of a domestic native plant known as ‘enjoyment’. This breakthrough, which could significantly impact the treatment of viral infections, has been published in two international journals and recognized academically.
Antiviral Properties of ‘Enjoyment’
The study, conducted by the Rural Development Administration, has shown that ‘enjoyment’ can restore the rough cell surface infected by the human coronavirus to its normal state. This finding is particularly significant as the human coronavirus is responsible for about 30% of colds and shares similarities with the virus responsible for COVID-19.
The research indicates that when treated with an alcohol extract of ‘enjoyment’, the viral protein and virus gene were reduced by over 90%, effectively killing the intracellular virus. This restoration of the cell surface to its pre-infection state highlights the potential of ‘enjoyment’ as a natural antiviral agent.
Anti-Inflammatory Effects
In addition to its antiviral properties, ‘enjoyment’ has been found to inhibit the expression of seven kinds of inflammatory factors in inflammatory cells. The main components, ‘Luteolin-7-O-Glycoside’ and ‘Butain-4 ´-O-Glycoside’, were particularly effective. These findings add to the known effects of ‘enjoyment’, which include antioxidant and neuroprotective properties.
Historical and Contextual Background
‘Enjoyment’ has been traditionally used in Korea as a herb to treat various ailments such as headaches, fever, chills, and abdominal pain. Collected in August and September, it has been dried and used in herbal remedies for centuries. This new research builds on its historical use and provides scientific validation for its medicinal properties.
Future Implications
The Rural Development Administration plans to use this new data as a foundation for developing coronavirus inhibitors. Yoon Young-ho, the head of the National Institute of Horticultural and Specialty, emphasized the importance of utilizing self-sustainable drugs, especially in the context of the Nagoya Protocol.
As the world continues to grapple with viral outbreaks, the discovery of natural remedies like ‘enjoyment’ offers a promising avenue for future research and treatment options.
