EnglishIn the prevention of epidemic and pandemic emerging and neglected viral infections, natural products are an important source of lead compounds. Hornstedtia bella Skornickis is a rhizomatous herb growing in the forest of central Vietnam. Hornstedtia bella essential oil (Hb EO) was recently characterised by our group as endowed of antimicrobial activity against Staphylococcus aureus Methicillin-Resistant strains. Here, we describe for the first time the evaluation of Hb EO against a spectrum of viruses responsible for important human diseases. Hb EO resulted active against Vaccinia virus (VV) (EC50 values 80 lg/mL), closely related to variola virus, causative agent of smallpox. Hb EO was able to strongly reduce the viral VV titer in cell-based assay at not cytotoxic concentration and its potential mode of action was characterised by virucidal activity evaluation followed by time-of-addition assay. Furthermore, Hb EO antiviral activity was implemented in a combination study with the mycophenolic acid.
