The researchers say they are still to identify exactly what it is in almond skins that cause the antiviral activity,
oeit is an area of huge interest to find natural alternatives that will have an antiviral activity. oenutritional guidelines recommend eating around three ounces a day to benefit from the fibre and other nutritional components in almonds,
whether this would be enough to have an antiviral affect. oethis was just an initial study to find out
if almond skins have this antiviral activity. oethe herpes simplex virus is a very good model of viral infection

or against using neuraminidase inhibitors (Relenza and (Tamiflu) for preventing influenza complications. An accompanying editorial says,
The review and a linked investigation undertaken jointly by the BMJ and Channel 4 News cast doubt not only on the effectiveness
and safety of oseltamivir (Tamiflu) but on the system by which drugs are evaluated, regulated, and promoted.

At this time, there is no evidence to indicate the development of widespread antiviral resistance among pandemic H1n1 viruses.
Japan's health ministry reports that it too has detected a case of Tamiflu resistant H1n1.

Kawaoka's team also confirmed that some commercially available antiviral drugs, including oseltamivir (marketed by Roche as Tamiflu)
and zanamivir (marketed by Glaxosmithkline as Relenza), are effective against the new pandemic virus in human cells grown in the lab. These drugs are already being used to treat some infected patients.
Meanwhile Kawaoka's studies generally echo the findings of two Science papers released last week,

People infected with the H1n1 swine flu virus who are otherwise healthy should not routinely be given antiviral drugs,
where oseltamivir (Tamiflu) is given routinely out to all those suspected of having contracted H1n1. Although those with uncomplicated illness should not get oseltamivir or zanamivir (Relenza),
THE WHO did recommend giving drugs to those presenting with severe illness, to children under five and to pregnant women (see http://tiny. cc/WHOH1N1).

Walter P. Reuther Library, Wayne State Univ. AZT-maker dies Jerome Horwitz, the chemist who inadvertently created the first antiretroviral drug for AIDS,
azidothymidine (AZT), died on 6 Â September, aged 93. News of his death emerged last week.
Horwitz (pictured) created AZT in the 1960s to combat cancer, but he shelved the drug after it showed little efficacy against the disease.
A company that later became part of Glaxosmithkline patented AZT in the 1980s when it was found to be effective against AIDS.

which also examined the United kingdom s stockpiling programme for the influenza drug Tamiflu (oseltamivir), the authors say that evaluation of the efficacy of Tamiflu
and other medicines has been hampered by drug manufacturers withholding data. The report follows recent European and US initiatives to increase data sharing and transparency in clinical trials.
