“…Rudravanti, or Cressa cretica (Linn), a member of the Convolvulaceae family, has antitussive and broncho dilatory properties, as well as mast cell stabilizing properties and has traditionally been used to treat cough and other respiratory issues [ 84 , 85 ]. Its aerial portions include oxidative characteristics regulated by β-sitosterol, β -sitosterol glucoside, kaempferol, noctacosanol-1, quercetin, rutin, 6‑hydroxy-3,4-dimethyl coumarin, and 6‑methoxy-7,8-methylene dioxycoumarin [86] . In an in-silico study, 3, 5-Dicaffeoylquinic acid from Cressa cretica was reported to have the greatest binding energy compared to Remdesivir and may block M pro protein, which is necessary to cleave the mRNA and assemble viruses.…”
