abstract = {The outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in not
<7.1million deaths globally as of December 2024. Many new
variants of concern have continued to emerge since the
initial outbreak of the original SARS-CoV-2 virus traceable
to the Wuhan strain (Wuhan-Hu-1). In this work, the
therapeutic potentials of four new polyherbal dietary
preparations – VIVE (five plants), FORTE1(fortified VIVE),
COMBI-5 (five spices) and MOK (Moringa seed) as well as four
individual ethnomedicinal plants were investigated.
Computational screening revealed chemical structures capable
of establishing moderate to strong interaction with
SARS-CoV-2′s main protease enzyme, while in vitro
screening against the viral protease clearly established
inhibitory potencies. The individual plant extracts making
up VIVE and FORTE1 showed mild (494.9 ± 19.6 µg/ml) to
moderate (21.5 ± 1.1 µg/ml) inhibitory activity against
the viral enzyme in vitro; highest activity was obtained in
the polyherbal VIVE preparation (17.3 ± 1.4 µg/ml). The
MOK exerted total inhibition – 100 $\%$ (IC50 -3.6 ± 0.9)
of the viral enzyme while COMBI-5 produced an inhibition of
95 $\%(IC50$ - 0.9 ± 0.1). These results revealed the
potential of specialized metabolites within these widely
consumed dietary herbal products for the management of
COVID-19 and related viral threats.},
