Heterocyclic Compounds of some Natural Products as Anti-Covid-19: Iranian Plants and Natural Drugs of Ardabil Province

Abstract

Natural products make amazing opportunities for novel drugs via extracting of some heterocyclic compounds. These extracted molecules are used as anti-corona virus diseases. Herbal heterocyclic drugs are included in various forms, such as tablets, capsules, tinctures, and syrups. In Iran, with around 1.65 million km2 areas, the climate is diverse, ranging from arid and semi-arid to subtropical along the Caspian coast and the northern forests. The Moghan plain is located to the north of Ardabil province and west of the Caspian Sea. Due to its mild winters and humid summers, it is considered an important pole for Iran's agriculture and natural plant drugs. To date, scientists in Iran identified 10000 plant species; out of these, approximately 1000 are medicinal and aromatic plants, and around 100 species are in Ardabil province. Therefore, this province has rich medicinal plants and raw plant materials and processed herbal medicines to produce natural drug products as anti-COVID-19. This work simulated the heterocyclic molecules extracted from those plants for anti-COVID -19 drugs.
