This study identified the bioactive components of a medicinal plant, (). Flavone-glycosides were found to be responsible for anti-inflammatory and antiviral effects. A method was developed to extract these compounds, which were shown to restrict respiratory bursts and inhibit SARS-CoV-2 infection. These findings suggest that could potentially be used as a supplement to treat COVID-19 associated with neutrophils.
