Researchers have found out in the substance bananas, capable to slow down HIV-infection development in an organism. New opening, probably, will help with working out of methods of HIV treatment for prevention of transfer of a HIV sexual by.
Research was spent at medical school at university of the State of Michigan (USA). Scientists managed to find out in bananas the substance possessing effective anti-virus action, similar to action of two modern medicinal preparations. This substance - the fiber which are belonging to the lectins class. The intravaginal preparations made on its basis, can prevent penetration of originators of a HIV into immune system of an organism.

The basic difficulty in struggle against a HIV is a mechanism of constant mutations which prevents to find an effective remedy against a virus. Lectins as experts have found out, are capable to break action of this mechanism.
The author of research, doctor Michael Suonson has declared, that lectins can contact molecules of carbohydrates in various points of an albuminous cover of a virus. Some mutations for this purpose Is required, to cope with this system.

This opening vital now as the HIV extends very fast rates, especially in developing countries. Working out of a medicine on the basis of bananas is favourable and economically. Therapy application «BanLec» - so named new working out - manages much more cheaply, than existing now antiretroviral preparations containing synthetic components. Research while proceeds. But authors of working out are assured, what even the modest success in this area will help to salvage millions lives.
