Researchers conducted a study to find natural compounds from medicinal plants that could inhibit the main protease (M) enzyme of SARS-CoV-2, which is critical for the virus's life cycle. They identified artecanin as the most potent compound with excellent safety and drug properties through virtual screening and molecular dynamics simulations. Artecanin has the potential to be used as a natural inhibitor to prevent or mitigate COVID-19.
