Novel antiviral activity of mung bean sprouts against respiratory syncytial virus and herpes simplex virus −1: an in vitro study on virally infected Vero and MRC-5 cell lines

Table 13 Comparisons of the selectivity index (SI) of antiviral activity on HSV-1 between prophylactic (IVR) and virucidal (DVI) at best time for MBS extract and between that of MBS extract and the standard drug (Acyclovir)

Extract	Protocol vs Protocol	Time vs Time	SI vs SI	P value
MBS	^aIVR vs ^bDVI	1 h vs 2 h	10.9 ± 0.96 vs 18.23 ± 1.69	0.009	Significant
MBS vs Acyclovir	^aIVR vs ^aIVR	1 h vs 1 h	10.9 ± 0.96 vs 15.04 ± 1.9	0.06	Non-significant
MBS vs Acyclovir	^bDVI vs ^bDVI	2 h vs 2 h	18.23 ± 1.69 vs 22.56 ± 1.11	0.05	Non- Significant

Note: ^aIVR: the inhibition in virus infection after specific cell treatment. ^bDVI: the direct virus inactivation
