PURPOSE: Provided are antiviral and antitumor agents which have an inhibiting effect on retrovirus and destroy malignant tumor(cancer) without causing any side effects. And their preparation is also provided. CONSTITUTION: The antiviral and antitumor agents comprise unsaturated fatty acid extract of sesame and alkaline extract of Lycium chinense. The unsaturated fatty acids are extracted from sesame by compressing without heating to produce an unsaturated fatty acids extract. An extract of Lycium chinense is obtained by dipping the Lycium chinense into hot water and then filtering the water through a sanitary cotton to produce an alkaline extract. The amount of water used for such extraction should be about 5 to 1000 times as much as the weight of Lycium chinense. The unsaturated fatty acids extract of sesame and the alkaline extract of Lycium chinense are mixed in a mixing ratio of about 1 to 1-5. The mixed extract is useful for the prevention of HIV, influenza virus, herpes virus, simplex virus, rotavirus and hepatitis virus infections, and the treatment of malignant tumor.
