In Silico and In Vitro study of plant polyphenols identifying quercetin, curcumin, ellagic acid, epigallocatechin gallate and resveratrol as SARS-CoV-2 3CLpro inhibitors with IC50 between 11.8µM and 23.4µM. Real-time binding was analyzed with surface plasmon resonance spectroscopy.
7 In Vitro studies support the efficacy of quercetin [Aguado, Bahun, Goc, Kandeil, Munafò, Singh, Xu].
This study includes quercetin and curcumin.
Bahun et al., 14 Nov 2021, peer-reviewed, 10 authors.
In Vitro studies are an important part of preclinical research, however results may be very different in vivo.
