The COVID-19 pandemic, caused by SARS-CoV-2, requires preventive measures as only symptomatic treatments exist. This review explores potential therapeutic approaches including repurposed drugs and plant-based compounds for managing the novel coronavirus.
Area of Science:
- Virology
- Infectious Diseases
- Pharmacology
Background:
- The COVID-19 pandemic, caused by SARS-CoV-2, emerged as a global health crisis.
- The World Health Organization declared it a public health emergency due to its rapid spread and severity.
- Current management primarily relies on symptomatic treatment and preventive measures.
Purpose of the Study:
- To review the current understanding of COVID-19.
- To summarize clinical features and prospective control strategies.
- To explore various therapeutic approaches for SARS-CoV-2 infection.
Main Methods:
- Review of existing literature on COVID-19.
- Analysis of diagnostic methods and detection kits.
- Compilation of data on antiviral activities of repurposed drugs and phytochemicals.
Main Results:
- Various diagnostic tools are available for COVID-19 detection.
- Numerous repurposed drugs (e.g., remdesivir, hydroxychloroquine) show in vitro antiviral activity.
- Phytochemicals (e.g., curcumin, resveratrol) exhibit broad-spectrum antiviral properties.
Conclusions:
- Preventive measures are crucial for controlling SARS-CoV-2 spread.
- Repurposed drugs and plant-based compounds offer potential therapeutic avenues.
- Further research is needed to validate their efficacy and role in managing COVID-19.
