Computational Study of the Phytochemical Constituents from Uncaria tomentosa Stem Bark against SARS-CoV-2 Omicron Spike Protein by Oscar Herrera-Calderon, Abdulrahman M. Saleh, Andres F. Yepes-Perez, Nada H. Aljarba, Saad Alkahtani, Gaber El-Saber Batiha, Renan Dilton Hañari-Quispe, Haydee Chavez, Josefa Bertha Pari-Olarte, Eddie Loyola-Gonzales, José Santiago Almeida-Galindo, José Francisco Kong-Chirinos, Taoufiq Benali

“…The SARS-CoV-2 Omicron variant has spread rapidly and is considered the predominant variant in the world, and its main characteristic is related to evade immunity from natural infection or vaccines, due to its multiple mutations in the spike protein. On the other hand, medicinal plants have been used as alternatives therapies to ameliorate some signs and symptoms in COVID-19, and in our previous work, the cat’s claw (Uncaria tomentosa) stem bark has been studied in vitro and showed antiviral activity on SARS-CoV-2 as well as in silico studies on the 3CLpro protein and as disruptor between the ACE-2 human receptor and the spike protein. …”
