RNA viruses have been the most destructive due to their transmissibility and lack of control measures. Developments of vaccines for RNA viruses are very tough or almost impossible as viruses are highly mutable. For the last few decades, most of the epidemic and pandemic viral diseases have wreaked huge devastation with innumerable fatalities. To combat this threat to mankind, plant-derived novel antiviral products may contribute as reliable alternatives. They are assumed to be nontoxic, less hazardous, and safe compounds that have been in uses in the beginning of human civilization. In this growing COVID-19 pandemic, the present review amalgamates and depicts the role of various plant products in curing viral diseases in humans.
RNA 病毒由于其传染性和缺乏控制措施而一直具有很强的破坏性。由于病毒高度易变，因此开发针对 RNA 病毒的疫苗非常困难甚至几乎不可能。在过去的几十年中，大多数传染病和大流行的病毒性疾病都造成了巨大的破坏，导致无数人死亡。为了应对人类面临的这一威胁，植物来源的新型抗病毒产品可能作为可靠的替代品做出贡献。这些产品被认为是非毒性、低危害性和安全的化合物，它们在人类文明之初就已经被使用。在 COVID-19 大流行不断发展的情况下，本综述综合并描述了各种植物产品在治疗人类病毒性疾病中的作用。
