Propolis can Potentially Prevent SARS-CoV-2 from Binding to ACE2

Multiple compounds found in propolis-ruin and myricetin, hesperidia, chrysin and pinocembrin, and caffein acid, p-coumaric acid, and t-cinncamic acid were tested fro their ability to bind to ACE2. Through molecular docking evaluations, It was found that rutin was the most effective compound at binding to ACE2. This means propolis could potentially function as an ACE2 inhibitor, and prevent SARS-CoV-2 from binding to the ACE2 receptor.
