Abstract
A total of 25 phenolic compounds were studied for their inhibitory effects against herpes simplex virus (HSV)-1, HSV-2, and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-1. These include five flavonoids (1–5) and two dimeric stilbenes (6,7) from Artocarpus gomezianus. Wall. ex tréc., five phloroglucinol derivatives (8–12) from Mallotus pallidus. (Airy Shaw) Airy Shaw, and 13 courmarins (13–25) from Triphasia trifolia. (Burm.f.) P. Wilson. The data obtained in this study suggest the bis-hydroxyphenyl structure as a potential target for anti-HSV and HIV drugs development.
