Kits of parts against Herpes outbreaks are also herewith provided. Title: Treatment of Herpes virus infection outbreaks using valerian The invention relates to the fields of medicine, pharmacy and biology. More particular, the invention relates to treatment and prevention of Herpes virus outbreaks. Herpes simplex infections are one of the most prevalent recurrent and chronic infections in humans. Herpes simplex is a member of the Herpesviridae. There are two types of Herpes simplex virus infection, called Herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) and Herpes simplex virus type 2 (HSV-2). The most common form of infection is oral herpes. Oral herpes, the visible symptoms of which are colloquially called cold sores or fever blisters, is an infection of the face or mouth. Most cold sores are caused by HSV-1. Herpes infection of the mouth is typically referred to as Herpes labialis. Genital herpes (Herpes genitalis) is often caused by HSV-2 but is also caused by HSV-1. It is the second most common form of herpes. Other disorders such as herpetic whitlow, herpes gladiatorum, ocular herpes, cerebral herpes infection encephalitis, Mollaret's meningitis, neonatal herpes, and possibly Bell's palsy are all caused by herpes simplex viruses. Herpes simplex infections are very common; rates of HSV infection are between 65% and 90% worldwide. In the US, 57.7% of the population is infected with HSV-1 and 16.2% is infected with HSV-2. Following an initial exposure to the Herpes simplex virus, the host develops antibodies which can maintain the virus in a latent state. A herpes infection thus typically remains dormant for some time, with no clinical signs. Such periods are alternated with episodes of clinical manifestations, which typically involve the occurrence of herpes lesions. The lesions initially appear as an area of irritation and edema, which develop into one or more small vesicles within a few hours. The vesicles ripe and subsequently rupture within one to three days to form shallow ulcerations, which grow in time to large ulcerations and may aggregate with neighboring ulcerations to one large ulcer. In the subsequent days (7-14) these ulcerations heal again. The rupturing vesicles release highly contagious fluid which may cause secondary infections and/or infect others. Currently a Herpes infection cannot be cured; once present, herpes virus cannot be eradicated from the body. Treatments aim at preventing or reducing clinical symptoms. For instance, antivirals can reduce the frequency, duration and severity of outbreaks. Well known antivirals prescribed against herpes include acyclovir, penciclovir, famciclovir and valaciclovir. Pain and fever can be suppressed with analgesics or anesthetics such as for instance ibuprofen, acetaminophen, prilocaine, lidocaine, benzocaine or tetracaine. Another kind of drug which is approved by the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for herpes labialis is the saturated fatty alcohol docosanol. Further medications include lysine, zinc oxide or zinc sulfate. However, the effects of these medicaments on Herpes outbreaks are limited. If taken at a sufficient early stage, preferably before lesions become apparent, a reduction of the duration and severity of outbreaks can be achieved but this effect is often moderate. There remains, therefore, a need for further herpes therapies. It is an object of the present invention to provide additional means and methods for preventing or alleviating symptoms of Herpes simplex virus infections. It is a further object to provide alternative and/or improved medicaments against Herpes simplex virus. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The invention provides means and methods for preventing or counteracting a Herpes simplex virus infection outbreak. In particular, methods are provided for preventing or counteracting a Herpes simplex virus infection outbreak, the methods comprising administering to a subject in need thereof at least one valerian compound. Preferably, said at least one valerian compound comprises a valerian root extract. In a preferred embodiment, said at least one valerian compound is administered prophylactically to the subject before Herpes lesions are present on said subject. Alternatively, said at least one valerian compound is administered to the subject within 0-24 hours, preferably within 0-4 hours, before the prodromal phase. In another alternative embodiment, said at least one valerian compound is administered to the subject in the prodromal and/or inflammation phase. In yet another embodiment, said at least one valerian compound is administered to the subject in the pre-sore or open lesion phase. In a preferred embodiment, the valerian compound is either administered as a single dose or as a multiple dose up to the open lesion phase, wherein the concentration of said compound in the multiple doses is preferably a factor 1.5-50, preferably 2-10, lower than the concentration of said compound in said single dose. In one aspect, a method according to the invention is provided wherein said subject is suffering from, or at risk of suffering from, a Herpes simplex outbreak as a result of ultraviolet ray exposure, heat exposure, fever, dehydration, local skin trauma, a hormonal change or menstruation. In another aspect, a method according to the invention is provided wherein said Herpes simplex virus is Herpes simplex labialis, preferably HSV-1. Further provided is a method according to the invention, comprising administering to the subject at least two valerian compounds. In one aspect, said at least one valerian compound is administered sublabially or sublingually, preferably sublabially, to the subject. Alternatively, said at least one valerian compound is administered topically to the subject. In one embodiment, a method according to the invention is provided wherein the subject is additionally provided with at least one antiviral compound against Herpes simplex. Said at least one antiviral compound is preferably selected from the group consisting of acyclovir, penciclovir, famciclovir, valaciclovir, docosanol, benzylammonium chloride and any combination thereof. In another aspect the invention provides a method for preventing or counteracting a Herpes simplex virus infection outbreak, the method comprising administering to a subject in need thereof at least one valerian compound, wherein said at least one valerian compound comprises a valerian root extract with a total dose of 0.01 - 15 g active compound, preferably 0.05-10 g active compound, more preferably 0.1 - 5 g active compound. In one embodiment said total dose is about 2 g active compound. In another embodiment, said total dose is 125-2000 mg active compound, preferably 250-2000 mg active compound or 250-1500 mg active compound or 250-1000 mg active compound or 500-1500 mg active compound or 500-1000 mg active compound, more preferably about 250 mg or about 375 mg or about 500 mg or about 1000 mg or about 1500 mg active compound. In another embodiment a method according to the invention is provided wherein the subject is provided with: - at least one valerian compound, and - at least one anxiolytic compound and/or sedative-hypnotic compound. The anxiolytic and/or sedative-hypnotic sedative compound is preferably selected from the group consisting of benzodiazepine compounds, chloralhydrates, azapirones, buspirone, tandospirone, gepirone, hydroxyzines, meprobamates, monoamine oxidase inhibitors, barbiturates, pregabalin, venlafaxine, carbamates, pyrazolopyridines, α2δ VDCC Blockers, 5-HT1A Agonists, H I Antagonists, CRH1 Antagonists, NK2 Antagonists, MCH1 antagonists, mGluR2/3 Agonists, mGluR5 NAMs, TSPO agonists, ol agonists and pharmaceutically acceptable salts, esters, hydrates, derivatives and solvates of any of these compounds.

The synthesis was carried out through a three-component reaction of (arylhydrazono)methyl-4H-chromen- 4-one, malononitrile, primary amines in the presence of Et3N at room temperature. However, carrying out the reaction under the same conditions without base led to a fused chromanyl-cyanopyridine.
