OR oxyresveratrol, ME microemulsion, ORME oxyresveratrol-loaded ME, ACV acyclovir, SD standard deviation

aORME was topically applied five times daily for 10 days after HSV-1 infection

bMean time at which score 2, 4, and 6 or survival was observed after infection, determined from nine to ten mice in each group (the mean time with symbol > referred to a group of mice that had mice showing score 0 at day 10)

cPercentage of mortality of mice tested, observed at day 10 after HSV-1 infection

dMean time was significantly prolonged (p < 0.05 vs. untreated control)

eMortality was significantly reduced (p < 0.05 vs. untreated control)
