Other genera from the Anthemideae tribe also showed a broad spectrum of antiviral activity. Extracts of eight taxa from the genus Echinacea were found to have antiviral activity against HSV-1 in vitro [54], The most potent inhibitors of HSV-1 were Echinacea pallida Bins, Baum Arnason var. sanguinea (Nutt.) Gandhi Thomas 70% ethanol inflorescence extract and Echinacea purpurea (L.) Moench hexane root extract. 

Echinacea is a group of American coneflowers in the Family Asteraceae/ Compositae. There are nine species of the plant included in the genus. Three of these are typically seen in herbal preparations Echinacea purpurea, Echinacea angustifolia, and Echinacea pallida. Common preparations consist of freshly pressed or ethanolic extracts of the roots, leaves, and flowers as well as dried portions of the plants. E. purpurea is the most commonly used species, although it is often seen in combination with E. angustifolia (1).

Echinacea, a genus including nine species that grow in the United States, is a member of the daisy (Asteraceae Compositae) family. Three of these species are commonly found in herbal preparations the dried rhizome and roots of E. angustifolia, the narrow-leaved echinacea pallida, the pale-flowered echinacea and A. purpurea, the cultivated variety. The latter is the species most commonly found in herbal preparations (Tyler, 1993).

When dealing with the pharmaceutical quality and pharmacological activity of Echinacea preparations, it is important to distinguish between the different species, parts of the plants, and the various extraction modes. Since aerial parts and roots of Echinacea purpurea, and the roots of Echinacea angustifolia and Echinacea pallida are the most important raw materials of Echinacea phytopharmaceuticals, the constituents and immunological effects of these parts shall be especially reviewed. 

When 0.1 ml/kg b.w. . angustifolia (Echinacea pallida ) mother tincture was applied per os to normal leghorn (HNL) chicken, 5-9 days after application 32% elevated IgG (day 7) and IgA (day 9) levels were found. The IgM value was increased by only 8% (day 7). A dose of 0.4 ml/kg b.w. only enhanced the IgA level... 

Preparations from Echinacea pallida roots Chemical constituents and analysis... 

Echinacea pallida roots contain a high amount (0.2-2.0%) of essential oil [5, 14, 15, 21, 67-69]. Main constituents are pentadeca-8Z-en-2-one [19], pentadeca-1, 8Z-diene (44% of the oil) and 1-pentadecene (Fig. 1) [17, 70]. In addition, pen-tadeca-8Z,llZ-dien-2-one, pentadeca-8Z, 13Z-dien-ll-yn-2-one and tetradeca-8Z-en-ll,13-diyn-2-one are occurring [14] and probably also (E)-lO-hydroxy-4,10-dimethyl-4,ll-dodecadien-2-one ( echinolon ) [18]. These ketoalkenes and ketoalkynes are also the major lipophilic constituents of . pallida roots. Other constituents of this type are pentadeca-8Z-ene-ll,13-diyn-2-one, pentadeca-8Z,11Z, 13 -triene-2-one, and pentadeca-8Z,ll ,13Z-triene-2-one (Fig. 7) [12, 19, 71]. According to Schulte et al. [19], who probably examined . pallida instead of . angustifolia only 2 mg% polyacetylenes (calculated on airdried material) with trideca-l-en-3,5,7,9,ll-pentayne and ponticaepoxide as main compounds are present.

The polarity of the solvent, the mode of extraction, and the instability of constituents also influence the composition and quality of the extracts, as was shown for the ketoalkenyns present in Echinacea pallida or for cichoric acid in Echinacea...
