A crude fraction of polysaccharides, obtained from T. glabra leaves, was tested for antiviral activity against some animal viruses. The replication of vesicular stomatitis virus and herpes virus was inhibited in the presence of the polysaccharides while the replication of poliovirus was not affected. The polysaccharide fraction was not virucidal and showed no cytotoxicity.
