The CH2Cl2 crude extract and a fraction enriched with halogenated monoterpenes of the Brazilian red alga Plocamium brasiliense were evaluated for cytotoxicity and against the virus HSV-1. The extract showed low cytotoxicity compared with the fraction containing monoterpenes. The crude extract showed, in vitro, a high reduction of infectivity of the virus HSV-1.
