Isolation of phytochemicals from Malva neglecta Wallr and their quantum chemical, molecular docking exploration as active drugs against COVID-19

The Covid-19 pandemics caused by SARS-CoV-19, and the inadequacy of targeted medications, compelled scientists to seek new antiviral drugs. We present our current understanding of plant extracts containing polyphenols that inhibit Covid-19. Natural phytochemicals (polyphenols) derived from plants ha...
