Patent Pending When incubated in vitro with red grape juice and red wines with high tannin content, the poliovirus, herpes simplex virus, and various enteric viruses were inactivated,[63] although there are no proven clinical applications of this method. In vitro, tannins showed antiviral,[64] antibacterial[65] and antiparasitic effects,[66] but no tannin-based drug has been developed for treating these or other diseases. Tannins isolated from the stem bark of Myracrodruon urundeuva have been studied for their potential to affect 6-hydroxydopamine-induced toxicity.
