  • Title: Effect of pine seed shell extract on microbial and viral infection.
    Author: Sakagami H, Yoshihara M, Fujimaki M, Wada C, Komatsu N, Nakashima H, Murakami T, Yamamoto N.
    Journal: In Vivo; 1992; 6(1):13-6. PubMed ID: 1627738.
    Abstract:
    Pretreatment of mice with ammonia extract of seed shell of Pinus Koraicenis, via the intraperitoneal or intravenous route, effectively protected them from lethal infection of Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae and Staphylococcus aureus. The pine seed shell extract also moderately inhibited syncytium formation and cytopathogenic effect induced by human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection in cultured human lymphotropic virus type I (HTLV-1) positive MT-4 cells. These data suggest a medicinal potential of pine seed shell extract against opportunistic infection in HIV patients.
