The reduction in the RSV and HSV-1 titers after MBS extract treatment. The virus titer was obtained by EPTT to determine the virus titer in (TCID50/ml)

Virus	Virus titer before treatment	Virus titer after treatment	aVirus titer reduction	bReduction factor
RSV	3.16 × 10−3	1.422 × 10−2	1 log	2.22 × 10
HSV-1	5.01 × 10−3	8.97 × 10−1	2 log	0.55 × 102

Note: ^aVirus titer reduction: the extract is considered active if the virus titer was reduced by 2 log. ^bReduction factor (RF): virus titer in the absence of drug over virus titer in the presence of drug. RF ≥ 10³ strong antiviral activity, RF = 10² moderate antiviral activity and RF =10¹ slight antiviral activity
