SARS-CoV-2 infection, causing COVID-19, poses a significant global health risk. Studies have shown that epigallocatechin-3-gallate and melatonin can regulate the expression of pro-inflammatory genes, potentially reducing the detrimental effects on the immune system.
SARS-CoV-2 infection has now become the world's most significant health hazard, with the World Health Organization declaring a pandemic on March 11, 2020. COVID-19 enters the lungs through angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) receptors, alters various signaling pathways, and causes immune cells to overproduce cytokines, resulting in mucosal inflammation, lung damage, and multiple organ failure in COVID-19 patients. Although several antiviral medications have been effective in managing the virus, they have not been effective in lowering the inflammation and symptoms of the illness. Several studies have found that epigallocatechin-3-gallate and melatonin upregulate sirtuins proteins, which leads to downregulation of pro-inflammatory gene transcription and NF-kappa B, protecting organisms from oxidative stress in autoimmune, respiratory, and cardiovascular illnesses. As a result, the purpose of this research is to understand more about the molecular pathways through which these phytochemicals affect COVID-19 patients' impaired immune systems, perhaps reducing hyperinflammation and symptom severity.
