Potential role of medicinal plants and their constituents in the mitigation of SARS-CoV-2: identifying related therapeutic targets using network pharmacology and molecular docking analyses.

Summary

Researchers investigated the use of medicinal plants and their constituents to combat SARS-CoV-2 through two strategies: prevention of virus replication and modulation of the host's immune system. Molecular docking studies identified promising compounds for drug development, while enriched pathways included those related to immune responses. This study suggests the potential use of medicinal plants in mitigating SARS-CoV-2 and identified natural compounds for further study.
