Phytochemical rich Himalayan Rhododendron arboreum petals inhibit SARS-CoV-2 infection in vitro.

Summary

Scientists investigated the potential of phytochemicals found in Himalayan flower petals as adjunct therapeutics for COVID-19. They confirmed the extract's ability to reduce SARS-CoV-2 viral load in infected cells and identified five molecules that showed promising binding affinity with the virus's main protease and human ACE2 protein. Molecular dynamics simulations also showed stable interactions. This study provides new insights into petals' antiviral potential against SARS-CoV-2 and highlights the importance of exploring natural products in combating the pandemic.
