The well-known herb "St.-John's wort" (Lat. Hybericum perforatum) may become a raw material for manufacturing new medications against HIV-infection.
That conclusion has been made by researchers of the Neurovirology Center attached to Temple University in the USA. The researchers discovered that certain cells of St.-John's wort synthesize a heretofore unknown protein that suppresses the spread of the AIDS virus. The new protein called p27SJ prevents the copying of the virus genes and thus stops the process of the virus proliferation in the blood cells.
