An Evaluation of the Potential of Essential Oils against SARS-CoV-2 from In Silico Studies through the Systematic Review Using a Chemometric Approach.

Researchers conducted a systematic review of essential oils (EOs) and their compounds to identify the most promising ones against SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19. They found 15 EO compounds that showed high promise and identified plant species as potential sources. The study highlights the potential for EOs as antiviral agents but further in vitro and in vivo studies are needed to optimize their effectiveness against COVID-19.
