Plants have developed unique mechanisms to cope with the harsh environmental conditions compensate for their lack of mobility. A key part coping is synthesis secondary metabolites. In addition role in plants’ defense against pathogens, they also possess therapeutic properties diseases, and use by humans predates written history. Viruses are a class submicroscopic agents, incapable independent existence outside living host. Pathogenic viruses continue pose significant threat on global health, leading unprecedented fatalities yearly basis. The medicinal plants as natural source an-tiviral agents has been widely reported literature past decades. Metabolomics powerful research tool identification plant metabolites antiviral potentials can be used isolate compounds activities study biosynthetic pathways involved viral disease progression. This review discusses special focus metabolomics evidence supporting efficacy. Additionally, suggestions made optimization various methods characterizing bio-active subsequent understanding mechanism operation.
