Glycyrrhiza glabra L. Extracts and Other Therapeutics against SARS-CoV-2 in Central Eurasia: Available but Overlooked.

Favipiravir didn't work against SARS-CoV-2, but Cridanimod showed promising results in suppressing its replication. Tilorone stimulated replication, while licorice extract inhibited replication but with low activity. Cridanimod is a potential candidate for clinical trials, while licorice extract could be further developed as a safe adjunctive therapy.
