Herbal Medicines to Fight Against COVID-19: New Battle with an Old Weapon

Ranjit K. Harwansh et al.

Summary: The COVID-19 pandemic has had a significant impact on the world population, causing harm to citizens and global economic systems. The novel coronavirus SARS-CoV-2, which is 70% identical to SARS-CoV, has been identified as the causative agent of COVID-19. The pathophysiology of COVID-19 is associated with the interaction between the virus and the host cell receptor ACE 2. Herbal medicine has shown potential as an alternative treatment for COVID-19, with various bioactive compounds demonstrating inhibitory effects against SARS-CoV-2. Plant secondary metabolites have also exhibited potential antiviral activities.

Andrographolide as a potential inhibitor of SARS-CoV-2 main protease: an in silico approach

Sukanth Kumar Enmozhi et al.

Summary: The SARS-CoV-2 virus has caused a global pandemic with over 1.2 million confirmed cases and nearly 65,000 deaths, leading to a search for effective treatments. Clinical trials are being conducted on antiviral drugs, but the lack of approved treatments highlights the need for novel compounds. Andrographolide from Andrographis paniculata shows promise as an inhibitor for SARS-CoV-2 main protease, with in silico studies suggesting good solubility, pharmacodynamics properties, and target accuracy.

Pandemics Throughout History

Jocelyne Piret et al.

Summary: Throughout history, infectious diseases with pandemic potential have emerged regularly, including major events like the plague, cholera, flu, SARS, and MERS. Many of these diseases are zoonotic in nature, transmitted to humans through increased contact with animals. Understanding the mechanisms of pathogen transmission is crucial for prevention, and traditional public health measures like isolation, quarantine, and border control are still being used to combat the COVID-19 pandemic. Global surveillance programs and new technologies are essential for rapid detection and response to emerging infectious threats.
