Scientific research on the cause and effects of aromatherapy is limited, although in vitro testing has revealed some antibacterial and antiviral effects.
He has also developed chemical syntheses for a variety of natural products with antitumor and antiviral properties including tedanolides, oxetanocin, halomons, and xestobergsterol.
Isolated and purified, iridoids exhibit a wide range of bioactivities including cardiovascular, antihepatotoxic, choleretic, hypoglycemic, analgesic, anti-inflammatory, antimutagenic, antispasmodic, antitumor, antiviral, immunomodulator, and purgative activities.

Since these phytochemicals often have antiviral, antibacterial, antifungal and antihelminthic properties, a plausible case can be made for self-medication by animals in the wild.
Their screening resulted in a compound that presented weak affinity and no antiviral activity but represented a good starting point for further optimization.
