Abstract

 
 
 Since the outbreak, COVID-19 (SARS-CoV-2) has affected more than 24 million people. COVID-19 pandemic appears to lack any effective antiviral drug or vaccine therapy. Previously, it has been reported that medicinal plants are effective against pneumonia caused by coronavirus (SARS-CoV). Secondary metabolites derived from medicinal plants also play pivotal role in strengthening the immune system as well as the killing of pathogens or viruses. The present review summarized the medicinal plants and their secondary metabolites that have antiviral potentials. Further studies are required to evaluate these medicinal plants and their secondary metabolites for possible treatment of COVID-19.
