Section 7.1 will begin with broad and specific definitions of lichens and antiviral agents. Here, we will focus briefly on viruses and antiviral agents: their nature, characteristics, source, and effects. We shall also attempt to classify antiviral agents based on their mode of action and targeted virus cluster. Lichen as a broad group of useful source of phytochemical agents would be clearly described. Emphasis would be placed on the renewed interest and attention surrounding them and their unique niche in natural product research. |
