Exploring the Protective Effect of Food Drugs against Viral Diseases: Interaction of Functional Food Ingredients and SARS-CoV-2, Influenza Virus, and HSV

Abstract: A complex network of processes inside the human immune system provides resistance against a wide range of pathologies. These defenses form an innate and adaptive immunity, in which certain immune components work together to counteract infections. In addition to inherited variables, the susceptibility to diseases may be influenced by factors such as lifestyle choices and aging, as well as environmental determinants. It has been shown that certain dietary chemical components regulate signal transduction and cell… Show more

“…The coronavirus disease 19 (COVID-19) caused by SARS-CoV-2 was responsible for huge sanitary and socio-economic difficulties experienced all across the entire world because of the high transmission rates of the virus, its pathogenicity and the lack of effective COVID-19 treatments [57][58][59][60][61] or vaccines [62][63][64] available when it first emerged, and the rapid genetic mutational conversion observed in the last years [65][66][67].…”

“…Consequently, there is a growing demand to create novel antimicrobial drugs that can combat the emergence of resistance and reduce the need for antibiotics [1]. Various bioactive chemicals can be obtained from medicinal plants [6][7][8][9][10], and numerous techniques have been employed to investigate their potential as antimicrobial agents [11]. These bioactive compounds are secondary plant metabolites, representing one of the unexplored sources of antimicrobial agents in nature [12].…”

“…These herbs, as functional foods and nutraceuticals, can exert a protective and therapeutic role against multiple diseases, such as cancer, viral diseases, and cardiometabolic pathologies. Their actions include, among others, strengthening the immunity defense against infectious agents, preventing cell damage, and modulating inflammation, hemostasis, and the metabolism of lipids and glucose [9][10][11][12]. Among these widely used herbs, we highlight basil (Ocimum basilicum L.; Lamiaceae), coriander (Coriandrum sativum L.; Apiaceae), oregano (Origanum vulgare L.; Lamiaceae), and parsley (Petroselinum crispum (Mill.)…”
