Abstract
The spread of coronaviruses (COVID-19) globally resulted
in numerous deaths and hospitalizaons. It causes respira-
tory tract disease and fatal lung disease in humans. Vitamin
C can manage a variety of viral infecons. Honey was re-
ported to be eecve against the respiratory syncyal virus.
Moreover, Ginger was eecve in blocking viral aachment
and internalizaon. Furthermore, green tea epigallocate-
chin-3-gallate shows a vital role in the adaptable microen-
vironment of endosomes and lysosomes. Also, Egypan
chicken soup contains many nutrive values, so it should
be taken for upper respiratory tract diseases. Moreover,
curcumin considers having a wide range of anviral acvity
against several disnct viruses. And nally, fenugreek has a
wonderful biological acvity as protecon from cancer, ma-
laria, allergies, bacteria, and viruses. This work is primarily
addressed the anviral potencies of some natural product
that will help to overcome or relief bad symptoms of coro-
naviruses.

Introducon
Viral infecons are one of the serious problems globally, as
it aects health and economic burdens. Regardless, the avail-
ability of vaccines or anviral drugs, individual hygiene is a very
eecve way against viral infecons [1]. The spread of coronavi-
ruses (COVID-19) globally resulted in numerous deaths and hos-
pitalizaons. There is no vaccinaon unl now for this pandemic
virus and they cause many side eects if exists, so, this review
arcle aimed to illustrate some of natural anviral compounds
that might overcome this pandemic virus.
Viruses are composed of proteins and are enclosed by a lipid
membrane, the diameter of viruses ranged from 16 nm to 300
nm, the small size of the viruses makes them ultra-lterable,
Viruses have developed through long me duraon and could
adapt to denite organisms or their host cells. Viruses contain
only one type of nucleic acid, DNA or RNA. Viruses do not rep-
licate by division method, but they propagate in the living cells
host. They can develop their genomic acvity and reproduce the
components from which they are synthesis. They can’t encode
their ribosomes or energy-generang metabolic pathways. So,
viruses consider intracellular parasites. They can re-route and
adjust cellular processes for their opmal execuon reproduc-
on. The genec reference for any viruses is not dependent on
encoding structural components only but they have many genes
that coded various regulatory acve proteins as transacvators
and enzymes like proteases and polymerases [2].
History
Unl now, there is a diversity of human diseases with obscure
eology. A viral is one of these diseases. There are about four
disnct types of coronaviruses that have been known. Corona-
viruses have been idened in dierent animals like rodents,
poultry, turkeys, pigs, dogs, cats, rabbits, horses, cale, and hu-
mans; they can induce a variety of severe diseases as gastris
and respiratory tract illness [3]. The coronaviruses that have
been studied in detail are, HCoV-229E and HCoV-OC43 were
discovered in the mid-of1960s, and are known to cause the
common cold [4], SARS-CoV causes life-threatening pneumo-
nia, and is the most known pathogenic human coronavirus [15]
and human coronavirus, HCoVNL63 which was isolated from
a 7-month-old child with acute respiratory disease In January
2003 [6]. Both HCoV-HKU1 and HCoV-NL63 are coronaviruses
aects the respiratory tract, they found in both lower and upper
respiratory tract disease, they have spread globally, especially in
the winter [7].
Coronaviruses diseases in animals dierently than humans,
they produce gastris, respiratory tract, and can aect the cen-
tral nervous system in animals, whereas, in humans, the coro-
naviruses are aected the respiratory tract and in some cases
cause lethal lung disease. SARS-CoV is the most known corona-
virus that resulted in Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS)
[8]. SARS-CoV probably originated from a wild animal reservoir,
as bats [9], and was transferred to humans by infected cats.
Nowadays by the end of December 2019, people with pneu-
monia of unknown eology causes were reported in Wuhan. On
the rst of January 2020, China CDC reported a new coronavirus
was reported and classied as SARS-CoV clade. The disease as-
sociated with the virus is referred to as novel coronavirus dis-
ease 2019 (COVID-19), this virus was spread globally, that aects
many people and cause death in some cases. a coronavirus that
involved in an acute respiratory disease known by coronavirus
disease 19 (COVID-19) or SARS CoV- 2 is the third spread virus
from animal to humans in the last two decades that resulted in
a major epidemic [10]. A genus of the Coronaviridae family, are
enveloped viruses with a large plus-strand RNA genome. The
genomic range of RNA is 27 to 32 kb in size, coated and poly-
adenylated. Viruses generally known in all groups by host range
and genome sequence.
Spread of coronaviruses
Coronaviruses can spread through direct or indirect contact;
it can spread via large respiratory droplets and or small parcle
droplet nuclei, but the way of spread unl unclear as inuenza
A viruses [11]. Although no one knows whether it can spread
through the blood or not, people should avoid blood transfu-
sion or come into contact with anyone’s blood because it may
be a reason to transmit this virus.
How to avoid coronaviruses
Closed places should be avoided as possible; people with a
cold should stay indoors and take plenty of rest. Mask should
be put on the face, as well as safety glasses, hand gloves and
change them every me, usage of a good sterilizer Personal hy-
giene is very eecve in overcoming coronavirus, and nally,
people should eat or drink food and drinks that increase their
immunity.
Natural food should be eang daily during coronavirus
L-Ascorbic acid (Vitamin C)•
L-Ascorbic acid is a found in abundant in vegetables, fruit
foods it has an essenal role in a several of cellular processes, it
is an important product that can protect the body from oxidave
damage which resulted from toxic free radicals and other reac-
ve oxygen species (ROS) that are considered the main cause of
several diseases. Vitamin C act as an anoxidant in physiologi-
cal condions and prooxidant under pathologic disease [12].
It can scavenge oxygen free radicals directly and restoring the
tetrahydrobiopterin and α-tocopherol anoxidants to normal
value [13]. Vitamin C may, therefore, ameliorate viral-induced
oxidave injury. Many infecous diseases cause the acvaon
of phagocytes, and hence release reacve oxygen species. ROS
has a role in the deacvaon of the viruses. But, they are harm-
ful to the host cells and can cause the pathogenesis of viral-
induced host damage.
Respiratory syncyal virus respiratory tract disease which oc-
curs in childhood leads, also may aect adults causing deaths
[14], enhance ROS producon and causes inhibion of lung
anoxidant enzymes, this process leads to an imbalance be-
tween oxidant and oxidant balance and hence cause pulmonary
poisoning [15]. The mechanism of Vitamin acon C is dierent
than tradional anviral drugs in the human body; Vitamin C is
thought to be working in a synergic way that combines with the
virus and the body to preserve the body in a balance [16].
Honeybees•
Honeybees’ products are natural products that have been
used in ancient medicine. The importance of the biological
properes of these products is related to the ingredients a-
vonoids they contain. They thought to have an anbacterial,
an-inammatory, anoxidant, anfungal and anviral role.
Propolis is said to have a role in regenerave and anviral in
cold sores which result from herpes simplex virus [17]. Honey
might be a novel anoxidant to relieve many diseases via di-

rect or indirect way [18]. It can improve immune status [19]. It
can lower the acute respiratory symptoms in individuals who
eat honey daily [20]. Anviral eect of honey is aributed to its
ingredients components, for example, copper can deacvate a
virus. Moreover, vitamin c, avonoids, and H2O2 producon by
honey cause inhibion of viral growth through cut o viral tran-
scripon and translaon [21]. Honey products are said to have
anviral acvity against several types of viruses, for example,
measles, herpes, and zoster viruses [22]. Nitric oxide metabo-
lites, nitrite, and nitrate have been recognized in the salivary
glands [23]. Nitric oxide can produce host defense against vi-
ruses, both DNA and RNA viruses, nitric oxide acts by slowing
down the development of viral lesions also hinder their replica-
on [23]. Nitric oxide represses replicaon by interfering with
viral polymerase, nucleic acid, and/or viral capsid proteins. The
avonoid content of honey has also been reported to inhibit
viral transcripon and replicaon [24]. Moreover, the mecha-
nism of the anviral acvity of royal jelly has been ascribed to
the impact of 10-Hydroxy-2-Decanoic Acid. This fay acid drives
leukocytes, causing the leukocyte cells to aach to viruses, for
example, HSV and hepas, causing their destrucon [22]. Also,
Feás and Estevinho [25] menoned that honeybees provide an-
viral acvity against the respiratory system Dry mucus led to
frequent long-term infecon [26]. In order for viruses to sur-
vive, they need a host cell to spread, so the idea of killing the
virus kills the host cell. Honey has been shown to have anviral
acvity against respiratory syncyal virus and promotes inhibi-
on of viral reproducon [14].
Ginger (• Zingiber ocinale)
Ginger has been reported to show anbacterial, anfun-
gal, and anviral acvies [27]. It is used to warm the body for
promong circulaon and decrease high blood pressure. The
warming eect of ginger makes it a potent anviral for the
treatment of common cold and u [28]. Ginger can suppress
plaque formaon induced by a human respiratory syncyal vi-
rus in the respiratory tract in vitro. Ginger was said to have a
potenal role in blocking viral aachment and internalizaon
[29]. Ginger was supplemented to the paent with the hepas
C virus in Egypt; it resulted in lowering α-fetoprotein level, both
liver enzymac marker aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and
alanine aminotransferase (ALT) [30].
Green Tea •
Infecous viruses have extremely threatened human health
globally. Viruses are responsible for both acute and chronic in-
fecous diseases. Green tea catechins (GTCs) are polyphenolic
compounds extracted from Camellia sinensis leaves. GTCs were
known for their acon against various health benets against
numerous diseases. GTCs, parcularly epigallocatechin-3-gal-
late (EGCG), was said to have a potent anviral eect along-
side numerous viruses [31]. EGCG is the most ingredient of the
catechins as its individual structure and the presence of both
pyrogallol and galloyl moiees [32]. Furthermore, Xu [33] re-
ported that the existence of phenolic hydroxyl and the galloyl
group in GTCs have a signicant dierent acon on the dier-
ent viral. EGCG can be considered a nucleophilic reagent, the
presence of hydroxyl groups in the pyrogallol and galloyl moi-
ees supply extra lone pair electrons as compared to other
catechins, this allows EGCG to combine with various molecules
under suitable condions. GTCs have the ability to work in dif-
ferent stages of nuclear and cytoplasmic RNA viruses. The in-
hibion belongings of EGCG on mulple viruses indicated that
the green tea EGCG is a potenal alternave agent for viral dis-
eases [31]. It has been reported that EGCG binds strongly to
numerous molecules in the cells, parcularly proteins, and then
inuence their original acvies and funcons [34]. EGCG can
suppress the interacon of the virus or receptors and the host.
EGCG provides a principle role in adjusng both of endosomes
and lysosome in the cell, the acidicaon process is crical for
viral invasion. Viral genome replicaon or viral protein expres-
sion can also be repressed because of the inacvaon of viral
replicates or regulaon of host factors. Although some authors
reported the inhibion ability of EGCG on the stages of virus
and genome synthesis, a few results were menon on anviral
eects on viral protein translaon and assembly and budding
[31]. In vitro study, it has been reported that EGCG exhibits an-
viral acvity against a diverse number of viruses as Retroviridae,
Orthomyxoviridae, and Flaviviridae, including important human
infecous pathogens such as human immunodeciency virus,
inuenza A virus, and hepas C virus [35], and inhibion of
inuenza virus replicaon [36], hinders the entry of HCV entry
[37], it can inacvate both Herpes simplex virus 1,2 at neutral
or acidic medium [38], also, it has been used in the prevenon
or curave of infecons resulted by Zikavirus [39]. Besides, it
has the ability to suppress the acvity of enzymac of reversing
HIV-1 [40]. The mechanisms acon of green tea EGCG in viral,
EGCG is oxidized to form EGCG quinone by autoxidaon, thus it
can combine with the nucleophilic thiol group of a cysteine resi-
due to form EGCG-protein complex [41], else, the autoxidaon
of green tea catechins comprise oxygen radicals and molecular
oxygen [42].
Chicken soup anvirus•
Egypan Balady chicken soup was known for its eecve ac-
on against the inuenza cold symptomac upper respiratory
tract; this soup has medical value components and can alleviate
the inammaon of the virus cold [43]. Chicken soup may have
several benecial eects for an individual with inuenza cold.
These could include acons as diverse as improving hydraon
and nutrional status [44] and accelerang mucosal clearance.
Olive oil•
Olive oil contains numerous polyphenolic compounds that
consider bioacve compounds against the virus [45]. Polyphe-
nols are characterisc by their anbacterial, anoxidants, an-
inammatory, anviral, and anallergic acon [46]. Oleuropein,
tyrosol, hydroxytyrosol, verboscoside, ligustroide, demethyleu-
ropein were all considered a potent anmicrobial and anviral
agent [47]. Oleuropein has a potent anviral against many dif-
ferent viruses, for example, herpes, hepas, rota, bovine rhino,
canine parvo, and feline leukemia virus [48]. Also, it can manage
respiratory syncyal and inuenza type 3 viruses [49]. The olive
leaf extracts were eecve in control infecon or replicaon in
many diverse viruses as in viral hemorrhagic sepcemia, salmo-
nid rhabdovirus, and HIV-1[50]. Oleuropein olive extract targets
the acon of HIV-1 gp41, which is a way of HIV login into the
normal host [51].
Curcumin (diferuloylmethane)•
Curcumin is a natural polyphenol extracted from turmeric; it
is used in a wide range as food addives [52,53]. Curcumin has
the ability to cut o virus adhesion to the cell, which prevents
virus spread (Chen et al., 2010). It plays a biological role against
several viruses such as inuenza, hepas C and HIV viruses
[54]. Daily eang only a small amount of curcumin per day has
the potenal to suppress the acvity of the monophosphate

dehydrogenase enzyme [55] and Integrase enzyme (necessary
for HIV-1 recurrence) curcumin may react with the catalyc
core of the enzyme and bind acidic remnant in the integrases
catalyc core and forbid it from binding with its substrates [56].
Curcumin also showed a potenal role against the human respi-
ratory syncyal virus, it hinders the replicaon of the virus and
increased the epithelial barrier role [57]. Moreover, Yang [58]
stated that curcumin nanoparcles present biocompability
and prevent RSV infecon.
Fenugreek (Trigonella foenum-graecum L.)•
Fenugreek possesses pharmacological properes, for exam-
ple, it can ght bacteria, carcinogenic, inammatory and virus
[59]. Moreover, it controls various enzymac acvies, relieves
fever, and reduces body pain. Moreover, Fenugreek contains
many compounds that possess biological acvity in various
diseases as protecon from cancer, malaria, allergies, bacteria,
and viruses [60].
Food should be control before eat•
The spread of rota and coronavirus in Egypt last year had a
great eect on public health and economic loss in animals and
its milk products. Dairy milk may be the main role in infecng a
human with both rota or coronavirus and cause the spread of
these viruses. Manufacture of Kareish white cheese and Balady
yogurt in the home cannot eliminate this rota or coronavirus
when infected milk is used due to decient heat treatment and
poor hygiene [61]. Dairy milk should be treated with steriliza-
on before consumpon [62].
Conclusion
Vitamin C has the ability to relieve the symptoms of coronavi-
rus. Vitamin C acts as an anoxidant in physiological status and
prooxidant in pathologic disease as it can scavenge oxygen free
radicals and restoring tetrahydrobiopterin and α-tocopherol to
normal value. Daily eaten honeybees with Vitamin C as lemon
may be very eecve in relieving the symptoms of the virus and
may kill the host of coronavirus in the individual body. More-
over, ginger was able to prevent plaque forming which results
in respiratory syncyal virus infecon. Also, green tea has the
ability to suppress the acvity of enzymac HIV-1 reverse tran-
scriptase. Furthermore, Egypan chicken soup with lemon as a
source of vitamin C can produce several benecial eects for
individuals with a cold. Their acon is various, they can improve
hydraon and nutrional condion and fasten mucosal rescue.
Finally, Fenugreek possesses more pharmacological acon as
anmicrobial, an-inammatory, anviral. All of the natural
components in this arcle review should be taken daily to over-
come coronavirus and raise the immunity of individuals. On the
other hand, Dairy milk should be treated very well with steriliza-
on before consumpon to avoid the spread of virus corona.
