Abstract

Herpetic keratitis induced in rabbit eyes was experimentally treated with triterpene saponins from Anagallis arvensis (Primulaceae) and antiviral drugs: idoxuridine, adenine arabinoside, and acycloguanosine. Saponin ointment appeared to be as effective as adenine arabinoside and from days 10 to 14 post inoculation was better than idoxuridine; the most active compound being acycloguanosine.
