Phytomolecules: A Prospective Approach to Combat SARS-Cov-2

Handbook of Plant-derived Antivirals

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

The emergence of Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) or 2019 Novel Coronavirus (2019-nCoV) has put the entire globe into unrest. The virus is evolving and thus the pathogenicity of SARS-CoV-2 strains has been different and making it difficult to develop a broad-spectrum anti-viral molecule that would be effective against all the SARS-CoV-2 variants. This imperative situation demands development of molecules for effective treatment against SARS-CoV-2. The phytomolecules or the bioactive molecules of plants could be a great alternative to combat SARS-CoV-2. The bioactive molecules with their antiviral properties and the secondary metabolites may effectively deactivate the functioning of viral proteins. The structural configuration of 2019-nCoV proteins and genomic information are available, thus contributing immensely for fast molecular docking studies and hence, enables screening of numerous accessible phytomolecules. The current book essentially highlights common phytomolecules against the known viral proteins and highlighted few plant-derived molecules which may suppress the activity of the viral proteins.
