Abstract
The present findings indicate that the wide fluctuation observed in the antiviral activity of various crude helenine preparations may be attributable to the presence of varying amounts of inhibitor. Antiviral activity could be enhanced by removal of the inhibitor. A meaningful value for helenine titer in a preparation clearly should be determined in the inhibitor-free zone.
