Abstract
Various important medicines make use of secondary metabolites that are produced by plants. Medicinal plants, such as Withania somnifera and Tinospora cordifolia, are rich sources of chemically active compounds and are reported to have numerous therapeutic applications. The therapeutic use of medicinal plants is widely mentioned in Ayurveda and has folkloric importance in different parts of the world. The aim of this review is to summarize the phytochemical profiles, folkloric importance, and primary pharmacological activity of W. somnifera and T. cordifolia with emphasis on their action against the novel coronavirus.
各种重要药物都利用了植物产生的次生代谢物。药用植物，如睡茄（Withania somnifera）和天南星（Tinospora cordifolia），是化学活性化合物的丰富来源，据报道具有多种治疗用途。药用植物的治疗用途在阿育吠陀中被广泛提及，在世界各地也具有重要的民间意义。本综述旨在总结 W. somnifera 和 T. cordifolia 的植物化学成分、民俗重要性和主要药理活性，重点是它们对新型冠状病毒的作用。
