摘要

A reverse transcriptase containing flowery portion or its extract originated from elm in Ulmus hollandica is disclosed. The reverse transcriptase of this invention shows an activity remarkably higher than that of a known reverse transcriptase inhibitor derived from Ulmus davidiana var. japonica. Low toxicity of the reverse transcriptase inhibitor of this invention allows it being successfully applied to pharmaceuticals with a potent activity at a low dose, foods and beverages.
