Therapeutic Potential of Cocculus hirsutus against COVID-19 Infection
Abstract
The complicated epidemiological situation of COVID-19 caused by continuous emergence of new variants with failure of eradication, monitoring and vaccination strategies opens the door to alternative solutions to save the current situation and prevent new disasters. One of the foremost promising alternatives is herbal products and botanicals. Herbal treatments are mainly dependent on the sign and symptoms of the patients. Cocculus Hirsutus is a rich source of phytochemical constituents which contain phenols, tannins, flavonoids, saponins, glycosides, steroids, terpenoids, and alkaloids, which are present in the fruit, leaf, stem, and root of the plant. Cocculus Hirsutus exhibit various activities like anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, antioxidant, hepatoprotective, nephroprotective, anti-Diabetic, antipyretic and immunomodulatory. This review highlights the role of Cocculus hirsutus as treatment against COVID-19 infection as well as to reduce burden on synthetic drugs.
