  • Title: Antiviral activity of sandalwood oil against herpes simplex viruses-1 and -2.
    Author: Benencia F, Courrèges MC.
    Journal: Phytomedicine; 1999 May; 6(2):119-23. PubMed ID: 10374251.
    Abstract:
    Sandalwood oil, the essential oil of Santalum album L., was tested for in vitro antiviral activity against Herpes simplex viruses-1 and -2. It was found that the replication of these viruses was inhibited in the presence of the oil. This effect was dose-dependent and more pronounced against HSV-1. A slight diminution of the effect was observed at higher multiplicity of infections. The oil was not virucidal and showed no cytotoxicity at the concentrations tested.
