Propolis Interacts with the Main Protease of SARS-CoV-2

An in silicon study conducted by Hashem and colleagues demonstrated that caffeic acid phenethyl ester, galangin, chrysin, and caffeic acid, all compounds that are found in propolis, are potential main protease inhibitors for SARS-CoV-2. The inhibition of the active site of the main protease of SARS-CoV-2 could theoretically act as an effective drug for SARS-CoV-2 treatment.
