The disclosure and improvement of a viable helpful specialist against SARS-CoV-2 is a tedious cycle. Alternately, repurposing pharmaceuticals that have already been licensed may speed up the process of developing COVID-19 therapeutics that work [2]. First, promising results were obtained when SARS-CoV-2-resistant medications were tested in clinical and laboratory settings. These investigations provoked WHO to start an enormous worldwide super preliminary called ‘Fortitude’ for testing four therapeutics for Coronavirus: i) redeliver, an RNA-dependent RNA Polymerase inhibitor; ii) antimalarial drugs chloroquine and hydroxychloroquine; iii) HIV protease inhibitors (lopinavir and ritonavir) and anti-retroviral and immunomodulatory medications (interferon-beta). SARS-CoV-2 vaccine trials and convalescent plasma therapy are also being looked into; The outcomes look very good. Up to this point, some immunization preliminaries for Coronavirus have demonstrated to be protected and successful in prompting powerful humoral and cell reactions in the members. Even though this is good news, it will probably take many months to vaccinate everyone in the world.

Alongside reusing supported drugs, researchers are additionally effectively looking for protected, regular items with antiviral pharmacological movement as expected prophylactic therapeutics for Coronavirus [3]. The ginger family Zingiberaceae includes the perennial herbaceous rhizomatous plant Curcuma longa. It is broadly utilized in Ayurveda, Siddha, and conventional Chinese drugs for its restorative properties like antiviral, pain relieving, antimicrobial, antiproliferative, and mitigating action. Turmeric is additionally the most well known zest across the globe, particularly in India. Curcumin, demethoxycurcumin, and bisdemethoxycurcumin are the three main curcuminoids that are responsible for the medicinal properties of turmeric. The bioactive curcuminoid in turmeric with the highest concentration is curcumin (diferuloylmethane). It has antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, antiviral, and immunomodulatory effects, among other pharmacological effects. Many enveloped viruses, including respiratory viruses like influenza A virus and Respiratory Syncytial Virus, have been successfully treated with curcumin.

All the more significantly, curcumin is likewise answered to be successful against SARS-CoV in vitro examinations. Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), acute lung injury, pneumonia, pulmonary fibrosis, and sepsis are just a few of the respiratory conditions that have been shown to benefit from curcumin supplementation, according to animal models. Curcuminoids are “Generally Recognized As Safe” (GRAS) by the FDA of the United States [4]. A few clinical examinations have recorded the decency and wellbeing profile of curcumin both in sound subjects and patients. We’ve talked about curcumin’s broadspectrum antiviral activity against enveloped viruses like SARS-CoV-2 in this review. ii) curcumin’s ability to modulate the immune system in response to infectious ARDS; the safety profile, iii). Since curcumin as a food part is devoured broadly, we give areas of strength for a to testing curcumin as a promising prophylactic, remedial possibility for the treatment of Coronavirus in clinical or potentially general wellbeing settings.
