Zusammenfassung:Phlorotannins with anti-viral properties, in particular those with a molecular mass of from about 1000 g/mol to about 3000 g/mol, are described. The phlorotannins may be obtained or obtainable as an extract from seaweed, and may be used in compositions or extracts as anti-viral agents. Methods for producing the extracts and their use for treating or preventing viral infections and for reducing or controlling a virus on a surface using the phlorotannins are also described.
