Coronaviruses are responsible for several human diseases, such as the infectious novel coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), which is caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). is a natural food supplement with a known safety profile that may provide a wealth of documented antiviral compounds.
To explore the studies supporting the potential for hitting SARS-CoV-2 targets.
A literature search for published or preprint in silico studies between 1990 and 2020 in electronic databases (PubMed, Science Direct, Scopus, and Google Scholar) was performed for the terms Nigella sativa, , and .
At least 8 in silico studies have shown that some compounds of , including nigelledine, α-hederin, hederagenin, thymohydroquinone, and thymoquinone, had high to moderate affinity with SARS-CoV-2 enzymes and proteins. These compounds may potentially inhibit SARS-CoV-2 replication and .
These preliminary data of in silico studies propose as a potential phytotherapy candidate for COVID-19. Further preclinical experimental evidence is required followed by a Phase I clinical trial. (. 2020; 81:XXX-XXX).
冠状病毒可引发多种人类疾病,如由严重急性呼吸综合征冠状病毒2(SARS-CoV-2)引起的新型传染性冠状病毒病2019(COVID-19)。[具体物质名称未给出]是一种具有已知安全特性的天然食品补充剂,可能含有大量已记录的抗病毒化合物。
探讨支持[具体物质名称未给出]作用于SARS-CoV-2靶点潜力的研究。
在电子数据库(PubMed、Science Direct、Scopus和谷歌学术)中对1990年至2020年期间发表的或预印本的计算机模拟研究进行文献检索,检索词为黑种草、[具体物质名称未给出]和[具体物质名称未给出]。
至少8项计算机模拟研究表明,[具体物质名称未给出]的一些化合物,包括黑种草定、α-常春藤皂苷元、常春藤皂苷元、百里氢醌和百里醌,与SARS-CoV-2酶和蛋白质具有高至中等亲和力。这些化合物可能潜在地抑制SARS-CoV-2复制和[具体内容未给出]。
这些计算机模拟研究的初步数据表明[具体物质名称未给出]可能是COVID-19的一种潜在植物疗法候选药物。需要进一步的临床前实验证据,随后进行I期临床试验。([期刊名称未给出]. 2020; 81:XXX-XXX)
