Herbal medicines exhibit a high affinity for ACE2 in treating COVID-19.

Many herbal medicines, including Lianhua Qingwen capsules and Houttuynia cordata, have shown promise in treating COVID-19 by targeting the angiotensin converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) receptor which allows the virus to enter host cells. This study summarizes a range of herbal formulas, single herbs, and active ingredients that exhibit a high affinity for ACE2 and warrant further investigation. Such research could lead to the discovery of new drugs to fight COVID-19.
