Core Tip

Core tip: Medicinal plants have always caught the attention of researchers to develop antiviral drugs against dreadful viral diseases. Many plant species are being tested against hepatitis C virus (HCV) to find a possible cure for it and, hopefully, in the future these medicinal plants can serve as an important source for developing anti-HCV drugs.
