Article Synopsis
- KangBingDu (KBD) is a traditional Chinese medicine thought to protect against influenza, but limited controlled studies exist on its effectiveness and mechanisms.
- In experiments with mice, KBD significantly reduced mortality and inflammation caused by influenza, while also lowering viral replication in the lungs.
- The study found that KBD enhances antiviral signaling through MAVS and identified key active components like (R,S)-goitrin and mangiferin that contribute to its protective effects against the virus.
