ABSTRACT Polyphenols are secondary metabolites produced by a large variety of plants. These compounds that comprise the class phenolic acids, stilbenes, lignans, coumarins, flavonoids, and tannins have wide range employment, from food production to medical usages. Among beneficial applications polyphenols, their antiviral activity is gaining importance due increased prevalence drug‐resistant viruses such as herpes hepatitis B viruses. In present review, we provide an overview most promising or commonly used polyphenols mechanisms action focusing on effects enveloped clinical (double‐stranded linear partially double‐stranded circular DNA viruses, negative sense single‐stranded RNA with nonsegmented segmented genomes, positive viruses). The work emphasizes relevance in particular epigallocatechin‐3‐gallate resveratrol, alternative supportive antivirals. could interfere virtually all steps viral infection, adsorption release particles. against especially relevant given risk widespread outbreaks associated remarked recent COVID‐19 pandemic.
