The search of new biologically active compounds of plant origin for the treatment and prevention of infection diseases immunosuppression remains one of active branch of pharmaceutical research. The basis of antiviral therapy is infl uence to the virus or its component at a certain stage of reproduction. The practice medicine has quite an impressive arsenal of antiviral agents that inhibit virus replication in any of the three main stages of viral replication. However, antiviral chemotherapy begins to face the serious problem of the appearance of viral variants that are resistant to certain drugs. It is described the preparations of plant origin with different chemical structure, are capable of exhibiting antiviral activity at different stages of viral replication. A wide variety of biologically active compounds presents in the plants can rely on the possibility of obtaining new highly active substances with the ability to block a variety of viruses, including those resistant to existing commercial chemo preparations.
