Interesting list. Good to see a lot of interest in natural compounds...
Natural compounds may contribute in preventing SARS-CoV-2 infection: a narrative review
3. Natural compounds against SARS-CoV-2
Unfortunately, no drug for treating SARS-CoV-2 infection has proven reliability efficacy and safety yet [41]. Pharmaceutical industry is testing phytochemical extracts (Table 1), medicinal plants and aromatic herbs in order to identify lead compounds such as alternative antiviral drugs . Studies on the antiviral mechanisms of these natural products are pointing out how they can interfere with the viral life cycle, i.e., during viral penetration, replication, assembly or liberation, as well as virus-specific host targets [42], [43].
5. Conclusions
COVID-19 pandemic is the most important health problem worldwide. COVID-19 is an infectious disease characterized by severe acute respiratory syndrome and, to date, no specific there are not available anti-virus drugs or vaccines useful for its treatment. A natural compound can be useful for the prevention of this disease particularly for workers professionally exposed to the risk of contagion, and/or positive patients not in intensive care. For this reason, every possible hypothesis must be tested, none can be discarded a priori.
