Processed herbs have been widely used in eastern and western medicine; however, the mechanism of the medicinal effects has not been revealed yet. It is commonly believed that the central...
Nanozyme and natural product-derived herbzyme have been identified in different enzyme types simulating the natural protein-based enzyme function. How to explore and predict enzyme types of novel nanozyme when synthesized...
Recently, traditional Chinese medicine-based treatment has succeeded in fighting coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), and
Rhizoma polygonati
(Huangjing) has been one of the recommended components. Its processed products play antidiabetic, antiviral, antitumor, antioxidation, antifatigue, antiaging, and immune enhancement roles. The climate in Mount Tai is mild, and the dense forest is suitable for the growth of
Rhizome polygonati,
which has gradually evolved into a unique specie. Considering the important medicinal value and pleasant taste of Mount Tai
-Rhizoma polygonati,
various healthy and functional food products, controlled by quality markers with anti-COVID-19 potential, as well as emergency foods can be developed. The study aimed to review current evidence on the nutritional value of
Rhizoma polygonati
from Mount Tai and its usefulness as a traditional Chinese medicine, source of herbzyme, and potential remediating agent for COVID-19 and food shortage. Most recent findings regarding herbal nanomedicine have revealed that nanoscale chemical compounds are potentially efficient in drug delivery or nanozyme catalysis upon bioprocessing. Nanoflower structure is found in processed
Rhizoma polygonati
by self-assembly and has wide application in enzymatic events, particularly nanoscale herbzyme. The novel findings regarding Mount
Tai-Rhizoma polygonati
could enhance its novel applications in chronic and hidden hunger, clinical nanomedicine, and as an anti-COVID-19 agent.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
