The global health pandemic of coronavirus disease (Covid-19) did not have specifically approved medication for the treatment. To maintain the human immunity power by natural remedies is the only way to prevent coronavirus infection. We designed a study protocol by selecting 10 natural plant active constituents that were claimed by traditional and investigational ways to have anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, immunomodulatory, and antiviral properties. We will analyze these selected 10 plants' active constituents by molecular docking analysis. This article is a literature review of selected 10 plants products including Coffea Arabica, Curcuma longa, Glycyrrhiza glabra, Zizyphus vulgaris, Sisymbrium irio, Borago officinalis, Althaea officinalis, Malva sylvestris, Cordia Latifolia, and Adhatoda vasica for their anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, immunomodulatory, and antiviral properties.

Anti Inflammatory

Medicinal plants and their secondary metabolites are progressively used in the treatment of diseases as a complementary medicine. Inflammation is a pathologic condition that includes a wide range of diseases such as rheumatic and immune-mediated conditions, diabetes, cardiovascular accident, and etcetera. We introduce some herbs which their anti-inflammatory effects have been evaluated in clinical and experimental studies.Curcuma longa, Zingiber officinale, Rosmarinus officinalis, Borago officinalis, evening primrose, and Devil’s claw are some of the introduced medicinal herbs in this review. Since the treatment of inflammation is not a one-dimensional remedy, this review tries to reach a multidimensional therapeutic approach to inflammation with the help of herbal medicine and modification in lifestyle.

Ibuprofen is a long lasting non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and still represents one of the most diffused analgesics around the world. It has an interesting story started over 50 years ago. In this short comment to an already published paper, the authors try to focus some specific important point. On top, they illustrate the recent, confusing and fake assertion on the potentially dangerous influence that ibuprofen could have, increasing the risk of Coronavirus infection. This is also better illustrated in a previously published paper, where the readers could find more clear responses to eventual doubts.

Novel Coronavirus

In late 2019, a new viral infection appeared in China, which spread around the world, causing a pandemic. The causative agent of the new coronavirus infection COVID-19 is the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus. The review presents modern data on the epidemiology, pathogenesis and course of the novel coronavirus infection COVID-19 in children. Chinese, American and European scientists have described a variety of cutaneous manifestations in children with COVID-19. The article provides a literature review of the cutaneous manifestations of COVID-19 coronavirus infection in children. During our own observation of 301 patients with coronavirus infection COVID-19 caused by SARS-CoV-2 at the Bashlyaevs Children Hospital in Moscow from May 17 to November 16, 2020, it was revealed that 39 (13 %) patients had skin manifestations. The article presents a classification of skin manifestations characteristic of COVID-19. A brief description of each group is given.

Inflammatory Effect

Гепарин используется в клинической практике преимущественно как антикоагулянт. Однако спектр его эффектов значительно шире: противовоспалительный, антипролиферативный, гиполипидемический (как прямой, так и посредством повышения активности липопротеинлипазы), антикоагулянтный, противоотечный и др. Именно на противовоспалительное действие гепарина сделан акцент при терапии COVID-19. Одним из патогенетически обоснованных методов профилактики и терапии микрососудистого тромбоза в тканях легких может быть использование ингаляций нефракционированного гепарина, что позволяет реализовать как местное, так и системное действие этого препарата. Терапия ингаляциями гепарина не будет значительно увеличивать риск контаминации вирусом SARS-CoV-2 медицинского персонала при неукоснительном соблюдении стандартов и рекомендуемых мер индивидуальной защиты. Heparin is considered traditionally as an anticoagulant although it has anti-inflammatory, antiproliferative, hypolipidemic (both direct and by increasing the activity of lipoprotein lipase), anticoagulative, anti-edema effects as well. The anti-inflammatory effect of heparin is in the focus of COVID-19 therapy. Inhaled (nebulized) heparin performs local and systemic effects. This way is pathogenetically justified for the prevention and treatment of microvascular thrombosis in lung tissues. Procedures of heparin inhalation should not significantly increase the risk for medical staff to become infected with SARS-CoV-2 when individual protection is fully observed.

Indigowoad Root is traditional Chinese medicine. It belongs to the “cool blood herb” category which has been used for anti-inflammatory and anti-infections situations regarding the Yin-Yang theory. Hydrogel is one of the biomaterials for drug delivery that provided a large surface area and permeability, enhanced the characteristics of solubility and absorption of traditional Chinese medicine, for example, curcumin. Based on the pieces of evidence, these might have some possible methods for the synthesis of Indigowoad Root hydrogel on skincare in the future.
