Extract from Neem tree skin, indigenous to India, can help treat and reduce the spread of Coronavirus, the international research team found Used for thousands of years, Neem is known for its properties of pesticides, insecticides, and drugs.

Leather extract has helped treat malaria, abdominal ulcers and intestines, skin diseases and many other diseases. People also use them in hair and dental products The study, led by a team from the Institute of Education and Indian Research, Kolkata, showed that Neem skin components could target various viral proteins, showing their potential as an antivirus agent against the Coronavirus variant, including SARS-COV-2.

Indian researchers test it in animal models and show the nature of antivirus against the Coronavirus Using computer modeling, the researchers estimate that Neem’s wooden skin extract will bind to the SARS-COV-2 surge protein in various locations, prevent virus entries to organize cells Furthermore, a team at Colorado University, USA, tested Neem tree skin extract in SARS-COV-2 lung cells. This proved as effectively preventive drugs for infection and decreased viral replication and spread after infection.

These findings are reported in the journal Virology “The purpose of this study is to develop neem-based drugs that can reduce the risk of serious illness when a person is infected with Coronaviruses,” said the author of the author of the Author Maria Nagel, a research professor at the Department of Neurology and Doctology at Varsity’s Medical School “We hope that scientists do not need to continue to develop new therapy every time the new SARS-COV-2 variant appears.

“Just like how we take penicillin for throat inflammation, we imagine taking Neem-based drugs for Covid-19, which allows us to continue our normal life without fear of hospitalization and death,” Nagel said, “said Nagel Scientists believe this research can guide the new antivirus therapeutic effort to combat ongoing pandemics while promising to treat new coronavirus strains.
