Popis: In December 2019, the COVID-19 epidemic broke out in Wuhan (China), which soon spread worldwide, generating a pandemic that put the medical world in difficulty. In the absence of an etiological treatment and an effective vaccine, the researchers also turned their attention to alternative treatments, a series of plant molecules being analyzed by computer simulations regarding the inhibitory potential on the main proteins of SARS-CoV-2. A number of clinical trials based on traditional herbal formulas have also been initiated, especially by countries with a focus on alternative medicine.
