Researchers studied the leaves of the Ficus plant for potential compounds to inhibit the COVID-19 virus. They found that two compounds, quercetin 3,7-O-α-L-dirhamnoside and rutin, had strong binding abilities to the virus' main protease, similar to the current inhibitor, darunavir. This suggests that these compounds may have potential for the development of therapies against COVID-19.
