In Silico Studies of Phytoconstituents from Piper longum and Ocimum sanctum as ACE2 and TMRSS2 Inhibitors: Strategies to Combat COVID-19.

The study examined the effects of natural compounds found in Piper longum and Ocimum sanctum on proteins important for SARS-CoV2 entry into host cells. Using computer tools to analyze protein interactions and drug properties, vicenin 2, rosmarinic acid, and orientin were identified as the most effective compounds. These findings suggest the potential for natural compounds to target ACE2 and TMPRSS2 as a strategy for developing future COVID-19 treatments.
