Abstract

Abstract: he global threat posed by the COVID-19 pandemic has intensified the search for innovative treatments, sparking interest in the potential of natural materials as sources for antiviral medications. This paper delves into the realm of natural medicine, examining the utilization of plant extracts and microbial compounds to combat viral diseases like COVID-19. While these sources hold promise, safety remains paramount. Just as with conventional drugs, natural medications can yield adverse effects and interactions, necessitating rigorous evaluation. To mitigate potential risks, techniques to reduce after-effects are explored, emphasizing the importance of standardization and quality control. Integrating traditional knowledge with modern scientific methods presents an opportunity to discover novel therapies. The development of potent and effective natural antiviral medications and vaccines, crucial for managing future outbreaks, demands interdisciplinary collaboration, regulatory oversight, and comprehensive clinical trials. In navigating the dynamic landscape of viral diseases, the exploration of natural sources complements conventional approaches, underlining the need for a holistic and balanced strategy.

传统药物和天然产物治疗COVID-19的潜力:综述

摘要:2019冠状病毒病大流行带来的全球威胁加大了对创新治疗方法的探索，引发了人们对天然材料作为抗病毒药物来源的潜力的兴趣。本文深入研究了天然药物领域，研究了利用植物提取物和微生物化合物来对抗COVID-19等病毒性疾病。虽然这些资源有希望，但安全仍然是最重要的。与传统药物一样，天然药物也会产生副作用和相互作用，因此需要进行严格的评估。为了降低潜在风险，探讨了减少后遗症的技术，强调了标准化和质量控制的重要性。将传统知识与现代科学方法相结合，为发现新疗法提供了机会。开发强效和有效的天然抗病毒药物和疫苗对于管理未来的疫情至关重要，需要跨学科合作、监管监督和全面的临床试验。在驾驭病毒性疾病的动态格局时，探索自然来源是对传统方法的补充，强调需要一项全面和平衡的战略。
