Elderberry Anthocyanins and Influenza Binding

  • Mechanism of Action: Elderberry (Sambucus nigra) extracts contain specific anthocyanins (predominantly cyanidin-3-glucoside and cyanidin-3-sambubioside) that exert antiviral effects against both Influenza A and B viruses.
  • Viral Glycoproteins: These active phytochemicals act by binding directly to the viral hemagglutinin (HA) spikes located on the surface of the influenza virions.
  • Inhibition of Infection: By attaching to these surface proteins, the anthocyanins effectively neutralize the virus, preventing it from attaching to and entering the host’s healthy respiratory epithelial cells.
  • Receptor Blocking: This competitive binding blocks the viral attachment sites, halting the initial stages of the infection cycle and reducing viral replication.
