Potential roles of medicinal plants for the treatment of viral diseases focusing on COVID-19: A review.

Summary

Scientists have identified 93 potential drug candidates from natural products such as medicinal plants and herbs that could effectively inhibit the coronavirus, including COVID-19. These candidates include pure compounds like Blancoxanthone and herbacetin, and extracts from plants like Artemisia annua and Tinospora cordifolia. The study suggests that natural products can be used as a source for potential drug discovery against COVID-19 and other respiratory viruses, including SARS and MERS-CoV. This provides a promising avenue for future research to develop effective treatments for the ongoing pandemic.
