Antiviral activity of the C. mimosoides extract. Lower IC50 values indicate greater antiviral potency. CC50 is defined as the concentration needed to reduce MDCK cell viability by 50%. The extract’s IC50 is much lower than its CC50, demonstrating effective antiviral action without harming host cells. Triton-X (0.1% v/v) and hydroethanolic extract of Oroxylum indicum were positive controls in this study.
