This cross‐sectional study investigated nonconventional therapies for COVID‐19 in Trinidad, emphasizing the need for documentation supporting future pharmaceutical research. The survey, conducted from June 20 to July 19, 2022, garnered responses from 57 participants aged 18 and above, with 82.46% vaccinated. The majority (81%) utilized both conventional and nonconventional therapies, revealing insights for potential alternatives to traditional treatments. Conventional treatments, including antibiotics, Ivermectin, anti‐inflammatories, analgesics, bronchodilators, and cough/flu syrups, were frequently reported. Nonconventional therapies encompassed vitamins, minerals, supplements, and various plant and animal products. When participants used conventional therapies, either alone or in combination with nonconventional ones, 13.21% reported side effects. These included severe thirst, headache, nausea, drowsiness, and one case of weight gain. Conversely, those exclusively using nonconventional treatments reported no side effects. Encouragingly, nonconventional therapies demonstrated promising effects in managing COVID‐19, emphasizing the need for meticulous selection, research, and development of their bioactive compounds as potential alternatives to conventional therapies.
Nur Hannani Ahmad Rozani et al., Molecular Docking of Phytochemicals from M. Charantia Targeting SARS-CoV-2 Main Protease, Journal of Advanced Research in Applied Sciences and Engineering Technology, doi:10.37934/araset.47.1.152165
Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) is a transmittable disease caused by severe acute respiratory coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). The outbreak of the disease has affected the world in a negative manner. The development and on-going vaccination efforts has reduced the mortality rate in people with existing comorbidities and lowered virus transmission rate. However, there are still the needs for prescribed medicines that can be consumed by COVID-19 infected persons. Momordica charantia L. has been used in traditional medicines to treat various diseases including anti-diabetic and cancer. Pharmacological studies on Momordica charantia L. revealed that the plant stored many useful phytoconstituents that might be exploited for producing drug compounds to treat COVID-19. Nowadays, computational-aided drug methods are widely used in drug discovery process as it requires minimal compound design and improve the development pipeline. In this study, molecular docking of five phytochemicals from Momordica charantia L. were carried out against SARS-CoV-2 main protease (Mpro). The results obtained revealed that some of the phytochemicals showed a better dock score compared to the drug molnupiravir. Based on the dock score and the medicinal properties of each compound, it is suggested that these compounds can be further studied for potential drugs against COVID-19.
