We previously reported the finding of symptom relief in a randomized controlled trial with combined use kakkonto and shosaikotokakikyosekko added to conventional treatment patients coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). For further evaluation, we performed post hoc analysis focused on disappearance without recurrence, determine clearer effect Kampo medicine. Patients mild moderate COVID-19 were randomly allocated control group receiving symptomatic therapy or (2.5 g) three times daily addition therapy. The data 161 (Kampo group, n = 81; 80) analyzed for time disappearance. Kaplan-Meier Cox proportional hazard estimates symptoms showed that all each targeted this study disappeared faster than although not statistically significant (all cases; ratio [HR] 3.73, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.46-29.98, log-rank p 0.1763). In supplemental assessment using covariate adjustment competing risk analysis, fever cases, HR 1.62, CI 0.99-2.64, 0.0557; unvaccinated 1.68, 1.00-2.83, 0.0498) shortness breath significantly 1.92, 1.07-3.42, 0.0278; 2.15, 1.17-3.96, 0.0141). These results demonstrate advantages acute COVID-19.

In 2020, severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) challenged the world with a global outbreak that led to millions of deaths worldwide. Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is symptomatic manifestation this virus, which can range from flu-like symptoms utter clinical complications and even death. Since there was no clear medicine could tackle infection or lower its minimal adverse effects on patients’ health, health organization (WHO) developed awareness programs rate limit fast spread virus. Although vaccines have been as preventative tools, people still prefer going back traditional herbal medicine, provides remarkable benefits either prevent viral progression through different mechanistic pathways relatively insignificant side effects. This comprehensive review scientific evidence elucidating effect 10 plants against SARS-CoV-2, paving way for further studies reconsider plant-based extracts, rich in bioactive compounds, into more advanced assessments order identify their impact patients suffering COVID-19.

In the present study, Cinnamomum verum J. Presl. bark essential oil and its main component cinnamaldehyde was evaluated in vitro for neuraminidase (NA), transmembrane serine protease (TMPRSS2), angiotensin converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) inhibitory activities. The chemical composition of C. confirmed by both gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (GC/MS), chromatography–flame ionization detection (GC-FID), where 75.9% (E)-cinnamaldehyde major component. ACE2, NA, TMPRSS2 inhibitions at 20 μg/mL concentration, (5 μg/mL) were calculated compared range 54.2–89.9%. Molecular docking results supported that (E)-cinnam-aldehyde specific to ACE2 with 89.9% inhibition. Our findings suggest further vivo studies confirm effective safe use as well (E)-cinnamaldehyde.
