A little-known tree from Brazil’s Atlantic Forest may hold a surprising weapon against COVID-19. Researchers discovered that compounds called galloylquinic acids, extracted from its leaves, can attack SARS-CoV-2 on multiple fronts—blocking the virus from entering cells, disrupting its replication, and even dampening harmful inflammation. Unlike many antivirals that target just one part of the virus, these natural compounds act in several ways at…
Brazilian researchers say that substances extracted from the leaves of a native tree species inhibit SARS-CoV-2 through multiple mechanisms.
Brazilian researchers have discovered that natural compounds extracted from a native tree of the Atlantic Forest may act against SARS-CoV-2, the virus responsible for COVID-19. The compounds, known as galloylquinic acids, have demonstrated antiviral potential on multiple fronts, offering a new perspective in the fight against the disease. Compounds from a Brazilian tree attack SARS-CoV-2. The galloylquinic acids were extracted from the leaves of…
