Description: The global urgency to find effective therapeutics against COVID-19 has necessitated deliberate efforts to identify potent pharmacophores and to develop clinically efficacious drugs. Although clinical success with repurposed drugs has been limited, systematic methodical screening has resulted in the identification of several potential candidates that possess therapeutically rich biological profiles. These molecules are currently in clinical trials. Lately, a resurgence has occurred in the use of plant-based pharmacophores and moieties in development of anti-COVID-19 therapies. Biomolecules and extracts of plant origin are gaining prominence in regulating key pathways associated with viral progression and propagation.
