Effects of <i>Echinacea purpurea</i> and Alkylamides on Respiratory Virus Replication and IL-8 Expression In Vitro by Keely Puchalski, Johanne A. Gerstel, Abiola Jimoh, Yalda Shokoohinia, Jeffrey Langland

“…Different classes of secondary metabolites of the plant, such as alkylamides, caffeic acid derivatives, polysaccharides, flavonoids, and glycoproteins, are believed to be biologically and pharmacologically active. Although previous research suggests that the alkylamides present in <i>Echinacea</i> may be responsible for reducing the symptoms associated with the common cold or flu through their immunomodulatory activity, the roles of specific alkylamides and their targets (i.e., immune and/or antiviral) have not been well-elucidated or established. …”
