Avicenna Journal

Daraus:

Results: The outcomes of the study revealed that Linarin, Amentoflavone, ()
Catechin Gallate and Hypericin from Chrysanthemum morifolium, Hypericum perfo-
ratum, Humulus lupulus, and Hibiscus sabdariffa had the highest affinity for these
basic proteins and in some cases, their affinity was much higher than antiviral medi-
cines.

Conclusion: In addition to having high affinity, these herb active ingredients have an-
tioxidant, vasoprotective, anticarcinogenic, and antiviral properties. Therefore, they
can be used as extremely safe therapeutic compounds in drug design studies to con-
trol COVID19.
