Abstract

Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS) is a respiratory illness caused by the Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome coronavirus (SARS-CoV). CoVs are known to cause lot of potentially lethal human respiratory infectious diseases, such as severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS), Middle East respiratory syndrome (MERS), and the very current spreading infection like coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) outbreak. Regrettably, neither medicine nor vaccine has yet been identified to date to prevent and treat these diseases caused by CoVs. Therefore, effective prevention and treatment medications against human coronavirus are in urgent need. So far the aim of this study was to investigate the available natural drugs show in vitro anti SARS- CoV activity.

Keywords

SARAS-COV, Natural drugs, Amino acids and Antiviral mask

Conclusion

According to the report, several natural medications derived from plant extracts and the chemical L-isoleucine could be used to generate novel anti-SARS-CoV therapies for the treatment of SARS. Furthermore, research on these compounds is required in order to produce an antiviral medication against COVID-19.
