a CC50 is the concentration of sample with half maximal inhibition on the growth and survival of HEp-2 cells; data are expressed as mean (SD).

b IC50 is the concentration that reduced 50% of CPE in respect to virus control; data are expressed as mean (SD).

-: The sample did not show anti-RSV effect at its NMCC.
