Inhibition of the SARS-CoV-2 3CLpro main protease by plant polyphenols
et al., Food Chemistry, doi:10.1016/j.foodchem.2021.131594 (In Vitro)
In Silico and In Vitro study of plant polyphenols identifying quercetin, curcumin, ellagic acid, epigallocatechin gallate and resveratrol as SARS-CoV-2 3CLpro inhibitors with IC50 between 11.8µM and 23.4µM. Real-time binding was analyzed with surface plasmon resonance spectroscopy.
