Researchers have discovered a potential antiviral compound, 6'-HJB, from a traditional Chinese medicine plant, which may be effective against COVID-19 and its variants. This could provide new therapeutic options in addition to vaccines.
Silver nanoparticles derived from the peel and juice of Citrus limon show promise in inhibiting Coronaviridae and Herpesviridae viruses with low toxicity, potentially offering a safe and effective antiviral strategy.
Scientists studied phytochemicals from Calotropis Procera as potential drugs against the main protease (3CLp) of SARS-CoV-2. 11 phytochemicals showed promise with strong binding affinity and reactivity. These compounds could be developed as effective drugs against COVID-19.
Study in Alexandria, Egypt showed pandemic led to increased obesity and AOP intake. Examined AOP efficacy/safety and impact on COVID-19 severity. Important for COVID-19 treatment strategies and public health interventions.
Researchers studied medicinal plants for potential COVID-19 treatment. Plants with antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and immunomodulatory effects were investigated as inhibitors of the virus. This research could lead to effective treatments for COVID-19.
Study found plant-derived phytochemicals with high binding affinities to SARS-CoV-2 main protease. Tabanone showed potential as a safe antiviral agent. Further research needed to validate findings for alternative therapeutic options.
Baicalin from Scutellaria baicalensis helps lower blood pressure and protects the heart. Targets related to cardiac hypertrophy and signaling pathways were identified, showing improved cardiac function in mice and cells by reducing cardiac hypertrophy markers and MAPK pathway activation. It can be beneficial for hypertension-related heart issues.
Researchers identified gallic acid (GA) and methyl gallate (MG) from Rosa rugosa in Hanchuan zupa granules as inhibitors of the spike receptor-binding domain of SARS-CoV-2. These compounds block virus entry and have potential for COVID-19 treatment.
