Abstract

Information about the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic is still evolving since its appearance in December 2019 and has affected the whole world. Particularly, a search for an effective and safe treatment for COVID-19 continues. Botanical mixtures contain secondary metabolites (such as flavonoids, phenolics, alkaloids, essential oils etc.) with many therapeutic effects. In this study, the use of herbal treatments against COVID-19 was evaluated. Medical synthetic drugs focus mainly on respiratory symptoms, however herbal therapy with plant extracts may be useful to relieve overall symptoms of COVID-19 due to the variety of bioactive ingredients. Since COVID-19 is a virus that affects the respiratory tract, the antiviral effects of botanicals/plants against respiratory viruses have been examined through clinical studies. Data about COVID-19 patients revealed that the virus not only affects the respiratory system but different organs including the gastrointestinal (GI) system. As GI symptoms seriously affect quality of life, herbal options that might eliminate these problems were also evaluated. Finally, computer modeling studies of plants and their active compounds on COVID-19 were included. In summary, herbal therapies were identified as potential options for both antiviral effects and control of COVID-19 symptoms. Further data will be needed to enlighten all aspects of COVID-19 pathogenesis, before determining the effects of plants on severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2.

Key Words: COVID-19, Herbal therapies, Plant, SARS-CoV-2, Antiviral, Symptom

Core Tip: To stop the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, extensive search is ongoing to develop effective and safe drugs against severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2. COVID-19 in a major way affects the respiratory system, but many patients also have gastrointestinal (GI) symptoms. Plants have beneficial effects on various systems with their varied array of metabolites. In our study, the potential effects of herbal treatments against COVID-19 were examined. Their antiviral effects, their effects on the respiratory system, GI system, and other COVID-19 symptoms were investigated.



INTRODUCTION

New coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), which emerged in Wuhan in December 2019, spread rapidly and affected the whole world. The emergence, epidemiology, origin and evolution of COVID-19 has been extensively studied by Sun et al[1].

Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) has been shown to carry out viral replication in the human host mainly through three main proteins and enzymes: 3-chymotrypsin-like protease (3CLpro), angiotensin-converting enzyme-2 (ACE2) and spike protein (TMPRSS2)[2,3]. ACE2 receptors are found in the body not only in the lungs but also in tissues such as the endothelium, heart, kidney and intestine[2]. This distribution makes many organs a target of COVID-19. The significance of ACE2, which is found in intestinal tissues, especially for amino acid uptake from foods, has been emphasized and it has been suggested that the intestine may be an important entry site for SARS-CoV-2[2-4] Azithromycin, chloroquine, lopinavir, remdesivir, ritonavir are options used in treatment and whose effects are evaluated[5]. Effective and safe drugs and vaccines are sought all over the world to prevent novel coronavirus. Minerals, herbs, herbal products, probiotics and vitamins are the main natural resources, whose effectiveness and also the usability of herbal medicines in COVID-19 were investigated and benefit, risk assessments were evaluated[6-8]. Truly, since the beginning of the COVID-19, herbal medicines have been used in China. A study has shown that 90% of the 214 patients were treated with the traditional herbal medicine, moreover, it is reported that some of them prevented COVID-19 infection in healthy individuals and enhanced the health state of patients with mild or severe symptoms[9,10]. Health scientists from the Zhongnan Hospital of Wuhan University included the use of traditional medicines in the guidelines for the treatment and prevention of COVID-19. The experts recommended using medicinal plants for the prevention of COVID-19, additionally, the use of different herbal mixtures were recommended according to the disease-stage[11].

Herbs and herbal products provide generous sources of primary and mostly secondary metabolites, which are valuable compounds (phenolics, flavonoids, tannins, alkaloids, essential oils, etc.) for prophylactic and chronical therapeutic purposes. Some of these metabolites in herbs and herbal mixtures have high chemical variety than the synthetics in stopping viral proliferations, and having antiviral activities[12]. Thus, botanicals can both show antiviral effects and relieve the symptoms of COVID-19 thanks to the different substance groups, which demonstrate different biological effects that will not be possible to achieve with a single synthetic drug. Based on this understanding, in this review, we offer all the potential interventions for COVID-19 infection according to previous and recently found antiviral effects of herbals. Considering the major transmission routes of COVID-19, where mostly ACE2 receptors found and the symptoms, the plants have been handled especially with their effects on the mostly respiratory and also gastrointestinal (GI) systems. Although ACE2, is typically expressed in epithelial cells of the airways, various GI symptoms in COVID-19 might be explained by the high expression of ACE2 in the digestive tract. Additionally, liver tests abnormalities, active viral replication in GI tract and patients’ manifestations with GI symptoms (abdominal pain, diarrhea, nausea, vomiting) and possible fecal-oral transmission reveal the GI involvement in COVID-19[13].

Recent findings demonstrated that early blocking of COVID-19 with ACE2 inhibitors was one of the mechanisms used by novel drugs[14], on the other hand diabetes mellitus and hypertension enhanced the risk of COVID-19 infection, in spite of using ACE2 inhibitors[15-17]. Furthermore, unpredicted ACE2 upregulation by ACE2 inhibitors, ibuprofen and angiotensin II type-I receptor blockers lead to need of identifying/using alternative ACE2 blockers[18]. Consequently, botanicals or natural products might be alternatively and selectively might block the ACE2 receptors without inhibiting the enzyme activity in order to treat and/or prevent COVID-19 spread in humans without increasing ACE2 expression in patients and therefore increased risk for COVID-19[19].

Clinical human studies showing the effect of plants on respiratory infections are presented as a table. Based on the pharmacological properties of plants, their practicality on COVID-19 symptoms have been evaluated. In the last part of the article, plants that inhibit ACE receptors, the research studies and their active compounds on COVID-19 also included and it is aimed to examine the plants from a broad perspective.

ANTIVIRAL EFFECTS OF HERBAL THERAPIES

Most of the respiratory diseases (approximately 80%) are caused by viral agents[20]. Viral respiratory diseases are responsible for high mortality and morbidity, especially in disadvantaged and sensitive elderlies and immunocompromised individuals[21,22]. The main respiratory viruses are adenovirus, coronavirus, influenza virus, respiratory syncytial virus and rhinovirus[20]. Plants with antiviral effects and studies showing the effects of these on respiratory viruses are given in Table 1. Human clinical studies showing the effects of plants on respiratory tract infections are presented in Table 2.

EFFECTS OF HERBAL TREATMENT ON COVID-19 SYMPTOMS

Cough and fever are common symptoms in patients with COVID-19, including fatigue, shortness of breath, headache, muscle pain, sore throat, sputum, hemoptysis, diarrhea, dyspnea, rhinorrhea, chest pain, nausea, and vomiting[23]. COVID-19 symptoms in children are similar to those in adults and are relatively mild[24].

Although, the current synthetic drugs focus on mainly respiratory symptoms, herbal therapy can be used to relieve overall symptoms of COVID-19 with their bioactive ingredients[25]. The meta-analysis study, which included randomized controlled trial studies, found significant effects of the combination of western medicine and herbal therapies. Combined treatment has been effective in cough, fever, dry and sore throat, fatigue and overall GI symptoms. The combined therapy significantly improved the disappearance rate of cough and sputum production[26]. In another meta-analysis, it was found that the addition of Chinese herbal medicine for standard care improved the symptoms and signs of COVID-19 as well as decreased levels of C-reactive protein[27]. The effects of plants that can alleviate the symptoms of COVID-19 are summarized in Table 3. In addition, plants regarded as ACE inhibitors are shown in Table 4.

THE EFFECTS OF HERBS AND THEIR ACTIVE COMPOUNDS ON COVID-19

In recent years, artificial intelligence has often been used to discover natural products as medicine[28,29]. After the outbreak of COVID-19, computer models were used to investigate the effect of many plants and their components on SARS-CoV-2. Khaerunnisa et al[30], determined the COVID-19 Main Protease (Mpro) inhibitor effects of medicinal plant components in a molecular docking study. They suggested apigenin-7-glucoside, curcumin, catechin, demethoxycurcumin, epicatechin-gallate, luteolin-7-glucoside, and oleuropein, as potential inhibitors of COVID-19 Mpro. In a similar molecular docking study using sixty-seven molecules of natural origin, crocin, digitoxigenin and b-eudesmol were proposed as inhibitors against coronavirus[31]. Another study was carried out using one hundred seventy-one essential oil components. The study determined the best docking ligands for the SARS-CoV target proteins were (E)--farnesene, (E,E)--farnesene and (E,E)-farnesol, thereby suggesting essential oil components may act synergistically with other antiviral agents, or they may provide some relief of COVID-19 symptoms[32]. Computer modeling studies and clinical studies against SARS-CoV-2 in some prominent plants/products and their metabolites are given below.

Curcuma longa

Utomo and Meiyanto[33] revealed the potential of several compounds of Curcuma longa against SARS-CoV-2 by binding to three protein receptors (RBD-S, PD-ACE2, SARS-CoV-2 protease). They showed that Curcuma sp. compounds can bind to target receptors, thus, have potential inhibitory effects on SARS-CoV-2 infectivity. Rajagopal et al[34] showed in their in silico docking study that Curcuma longa components could be effective against COVID-19 by inhibiting the SARS-CoV-2 Mpro enzyme. Morever, cyclocurcumin and curcumin possess significant binding at the active site of SARS-CoV-2 Mpro when compared to hydroxychloroquine and nelfinavir. When compared to remdesivir, cyclocurcumin is significantly more active [Glide score: Cyclocurcumin (−6.77); remdesivir (−6.38); curcumin (−6.13); nelfinavir (−5.93); hydroxychloroquine (− 5.47)]. In a similar study, diacetylcurcuminin was more effective on COVID-19 (Mpro) than nelfinavir[35]. Another study suggested the use of curcumin with hydroxychloroquine to destabilize the SARS-CoV2 receptor proteins[36]. Gonzalez-Paz et al[37] showed that curcumin strongly binds to 3CL-protease of COVID-19 Curcumin caused enzyme folding and structural changes in viral protease. Moreover, curcumin bound more strongly to the enzyme than chloroquine.

Eucalyptus globulus

Sharma[38] suggested that eucalyptus essential oil active compounds are potential inhibitors of COVID-19 Mpro. They conducted a molecular docking study to evaluate the effect of eucalyptol (1.8 cineol), which is a component of eucalyptus essential oil, on Mpro. They showed that eucalyptol/Mpro complexes produce hydrophobic interactions, strong ionic interactions, hydrogen bond interactions, and eucalyptol may be a potential inhibitor of COVID-19 Mpro. Similarly, M pro/3CL pro/eucalyptol complexes have been shown to form hydrophobic interactions[39]. In another study, Sharma and Kaur[40] suggested jensenone, the component of eucalyptus essential oil, as a potential COVID-19 Mpro inhibitor. In a molecular docking study of 12 active ingredients of eucalyptus essential oil, all of these ingredients were found to bind effectively to the COVID-19 S-protein. Especially the toruatone component was effectively bound and the Spike (S) protein/Toruatone complexes formed hydrogen and hydrophobic interactions[41]. Muhammad et al[42], in a study of the molecular insertion of eucalyptus active ingredients into Mpro, showed that the α-gurjune of eucalyptus, aromadene and allo-aromadene components have strong binding energy.

Glycyrrhiza glabra

Sinha et al[43] conducted molecular docking simulation studies of two antiviral drugs (lopinavir and ribavirin) and 20 compounds of Glycyrrhiza glabra. Two protein targets from COVID-19 have been identified: Non-structural protein-15 endoribonuclease and spike glycoprotein. Glycyrrhizic acid prevented the virus from entering the host cell, due to its bulky structure. Gliasperin A showed high affinity to Nsp15 endoribonuclease and inhibited its activity. The authors suggested that glycyrrhizic acid disrupts the connection of the virus with the ACE2 receptor at the input level, and Gliasperin A inhibits the replication process of the virus after it enters the host cell. Another study showed that glycyrrhizin can be highly bound to Mpro[44].

Scutellaria baicalensis

Liu et al[45] investigated the in vitro effect of Scutellaria baicalensis and its components on COVID-19. Baicalein (its main ingredient) and the ethanol extract of the plant inhibited the 3CLpro activity and replication of COVID-19. The ethanol extract also inhibited viral entry. Udrea et al[46] suggested the benefit Scutellaria baicalensis flavones (especially baicalein) against respiratory damage caused by COVID-19. Flavones bound to 3CLpro. strongly bound to wogonin flavone, nitric oxide synthase and cyclooxygenase 2. In addition, norwogonin and baicalein arachidonate modulated 15-lipoxygenase and lysine-specific demethylase 4D analogue.

Thymus vulgaris

In a randomized clinical study conducted on patients suffering from COVID-19, it was found that Thymus vulgaris strengthens the immune system and can be used to reduce COVID-19 symptoms. In the study, 83 COVID-19 patients were randomly divided into the control group and the group receiving thyme (TRG). TRG was given as thyme essential oil three times a day for seven days. A questionnaire asking about symptoms such as fever, cough, fatigue, and loss of appetite was completed before and at the end of treatment to determine the effect of thyme on symptoms. Thyme essential oil significantly reduced the severity of symptoms such as fever, cough, shortness of breath, dizziness, muscle pain, anorexia, weakness and lethargy and fatigue. Additionally, thyme increased lymphocyte count and calcium while decreasing blood urea nitrogen and neutrophil count[47]. Carvacrol, a component of thyme, has been shown to inhibit Mpro by in silico study. It can be a potential inhibitor of controlling viral replication[48].

Withania somnifera

W. somnifera components withanolides have potential antiviral properties on COVID-19[49]. Patel et al[50] demonstrated that W. somnifera's Withanoside VI components have positive interactions at the binding site of protein targets of SARS-CoV-2. Withanone reduced the electrostatic interaction between ACE2 and receptor binding domain[51]. Withaferin A, which is found in the W. somnifera plant, has been shown to interact with Mpro and Glucose regulated protein 78 (GRP78) receptor[52].

CONCLUSION

In this study, the concept of “being effective against COVID-19” for herbal treatments was discussed from the angles of antiviral effect and control of symptoms, specifically related to GI system.

Antiviral effects on COVID-19

Since COVID-19 is a virus that mainly affects the respiratory tract, the antiviral effects of medicinal plants against respiratory viruses have been examined firstly. The structure similarities of SARS-CoV-2 have been found with SARS-CoV and Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus. Therefore, it can be suggested that plants and their compounds affecting these viruses may also be potential treatment options for COVID-19. Here firstly, clinical studies supporting antiviral effects of 22 plant on respiratory viruses has been reviewed which determined that glycyrrhizic acid derivatives obtained from Glycyrrhiza sp, Nigella sativa, Scutellaria baicalensis and Torreya nucifera have anti-COVID-19 effects. Plants such as Allium sativum, Glycyrrhiza glabra, Melaleuca sp, Withania somnifera have been shown to bind to ACE2 receptors that are imperative for COVID-19 replication. Focusing on these plants might be a logical way to go for herbal treatment against COVID-19.

This review also showed the antiviral effects of essential oils obtained from plants have the potential to affect COVID-19. The treatment involves using inhaled steam supplemented by essential oils possessing natural antimicrobial properties, oropharyngeal sanitization, as well as they are remedies for symptomatic relief. Inhalation of antimicrobial essential oils may help attenuate the virus in the nasal cavity, nasopharynx, oropharynx, and laryngopharynx. Antiseptic mouthwashes and gargles can also help to sanitize the oral cavity and oropharynx, whereas antiseptic lozenges can help to sanitize the oro- and laryngopharynx as well. The steam will carry the tiny particles of the antimicrobial constituents from these essential oils into the respiratory tract and is likely to improve the efficacy of the steam treatment. The steam supplemented by antimicrobial volatile oils may help to provide a local antimicrobial effect within the airways.

There are computer model studies showing that some botanicals and active ingredients are effective in COVID-19. Allium sativum, Curcuma longa, Eucalyptus globulus, Glycyrrhiza glabra, Melaleuca sp, Thymus vulgaris, Withania somnifera is among these plants. These studies with commonly found plants will guide future studies to develop effective supplements or drugs for COVID-19.

Symptomatic treatment of COVID-19

Since the symptoms of COVID-19 seriously affect the quality of life, herbal options to eliminate them were also evaluated in this review. Previously, herbs such as garlic, echinacea and ginseng were found to reduce the symptoms of cold in healthy individuals. Plants with their pharmacological effects are natural options for eliminating the symptoms of COVID-19. Based on the effects described in Table 3, Allium sativum, Curcuma longa, Scutellaria baicalensis and Zingiber officinale are easily found as prominent plants to eliminate the GI symptoms of COVID-19. For example, ginger can eliminate the negative effects of COVID-19 on the GI system with its antiemetic and hepatic protective properties. A clinical study was conducted with thyme essential oil on COVID-19. Thyme essential oil was found to significantly reduce COVID-19 symptoms. This revealed an option that thyme and essential oil have potential effects for consideration in treatment of COVID-19. Studies on more essential oils of eucalyptus reveal more effects of eucalyptus on respiratory system symptoms. Eucalyptus globulus, Hedera helix, Pelargonium sidoides, Sambucus nigra, Thymus vulgaris can be recommended for relief of respiratory symptoms. ACE2 receptors are found in tissues other than the lung, such as the intestine. Based on this fact, we concluded that the use of herbs binding to ACE2 receptors can eliminate the side effects that may occur in variety of organs including GI tract. As shown in Table 4 these plants are Ammoides verticillate, Allium sativum, Apium graveolens, Camellia sinensis, Citrus aurantium, Erigeron breviscapus, Glycine max, Glycyrrhiza glabra, Hibiscus sabdariffa, Linum usitatissimum, Melaleuca sp., Nicotiana benthamiana, Withania somnifera.

Based on these studies, herbal treatments offer several potential treatments of COVID-19. Plants may be an option for the treatment of COVID-19 and its symptoms, as well as protection from COVID-19. Even though these data point to good outcomes there is always the possibility of interaction between drugs used and these herbs. For instance, herbs such as ginger with antithrombotic effects can be beneficial on COVID-19 symptoms, but one might be cautious about escalated risk of bleeding when it is used together with antithrombotic or anticoagulant drugs. Therefore, it is extremely important to avoid the indiscriminate use of plants.

For a plant to be used as a medicine, its effect must be supported by clinical studies. COVID-19 is just emerging, and more research are needed for its treatment. Yet, herbal therapies are potential options for both antiviral effects and the control of COVID-19 symptoms. Since plants with multiple pharmacological effects can affect many systems (respiratory, GI, and nervous), herbs might be more effective against COVID-19 than synthetic drugs. But first, all aspects of SARS-CoV-2 need to be examined. Then, the effects of plants on this virus should be determined by further studies.

The strengths and weaknesses of this review

Unlike other studies, in this report, the effect of plants on COVID-19 was evaluated in several ways. Preclinical studies, clinical studies and silico studies are included in this review. Moreover, the efficacy on COVID-19 symptoms has been addressed by including different systems. On the other hand, the focus is on the respiratory and GI systems. The effects, not only of botanicals but also active metabolites of have been studied.

The biggest limitation of this study is the lack of sufficient studies on the efficacy of botanicals. Since botanical studies are generally preclinical studies, results may vary due to conducting and including clinical studies. In clinical studies showing the effects of the plants in Table 2 on respiratory tract infections, the results were generally obtained with questionnaire studies. Placebo effects and breadth of study may be effective in positive results.
