Antiviral Activity of Medicinal Plants against Human Coronavirus: a systematic scoping review of in vitro and in vivo experimentations

doi:10.19852/j.cnki.jtcm.2022.03.002

Abstract

Abstract:

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the in vitro and in vivo studies of natural compounds and medicinal plants with anti-coronavirus activity.

METHODS: A systematic review was performed based on Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses and Animal Research: Reporting of in vivo experiments guidelines to find data for medicinal plants and natural products effective against human coronaviruses in in vitro or in vivo studies. Studies published up to September 6, 2020 were included. Studies (in vitro or in vivo) reporting the effect of medicinal plants and natural products or their derivatives on human coronavirus were included

RESULTS: Promising anti-coronavirus effects are seen with different herbal compounds like some diterpenoids, sesquiterpenoids, and three compounds in tea with 3CLpro inhibiting effect of Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus (SARS-CoV); Hirsutenone, Six cinnamic amides and bavachinin are PLpro inhibitors and Tanshinones are active on both 3CLpro and PLpro. Some flavonoid compounds of Citrus fruits act on Immun-oregulation and target angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 which is used by SARS-COV for entry. Virus helicase is possibly inhibited by two compounds myricetin and scutellarein.

CONCLUSION: This review shows that complementary medicine have the potential for new drug discovery against coronavirus. Further research is needed before definitive conclusions can be made concerning the safety and efficacy of the use of these medicinal plants.

Key words: Coronavirus, medicine,Persian, medicine,Chinese traditional, plants,medicinal, new drug discovery
