Antiviral activity of medicinal plant-derived products against SARS-CoV-2.

Extracts and phytocompounds from medicinal plants have been shown to have antiviral activity against SARS-CoV-2. These plant products impede the virus from attaching to host cells and prevent its multiplication inside the cell. They also have an immunomodulatory effect by controlling the release of cytokines associated with SARS-CoV-2 infections. These findings demonstrate the potential of plant-based treatments for COVID-19.
