Antiviral Potential of Medicinal Plants and Plant Lectins: Use in COVID-19 Pandemic Era

Abstract

At the time of writing the research paper, the world is faced with an acute respiratory syndrome pandemic that is named as coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). This pandemic is also called Covid-19, is a respiratory disease based on the lungs caused by the new coronavirus the SARS-CoV-2. In the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic period, decreased food intromission, inflammation concerned catabolism, decreased mobility owing to extend hospital stay as well as older age and comorbidities hence patients can be under hazard of malnutrition. It is understood from the nutrition guidances suggest the nutritional methods and cure take into account as a complementary role of the way to these patients. In any acute, pandemic or chronic disease ideal nutritional care accommodate to life-support cure has probable to develop the results of patients influenced by this life-menacing disease, bearing better and shorter healing from the acute phase. For this reason, in pandemic of the SARS-CoV-2 before and after get be sick, quality and species of chemical secondary metabolites of foods in nutritional care are very important in terms of healing. In this paper, we tried to explain how some lectins and some medicinal plants like a Salvia officinalis and Malva slyvestris are effective against the SARS-CoV-2 in human metabolism.
