An in vitro study conducted by Hoffmann and colleagues revealed that SARC-CoV-2 depends on cellular serine protease (TMPRSS2) for S proteins priming which are known to interact with human ACE2 receptors in the lungs and facilitate entry into the cells. The authors opted the following keywords to find relevant studies: "essential oils", "antiviral", "COVID-19", "SARC-CoV-2", "bronchodilation", "immunomodulatory'', "anti-inflammatory'', "corona virus''. Thus, on the basis of these docking and in vitro studies, it is proposed that garlic essential oils and their isolated constituents, especially DAS, have potential to prevent the entry of virus into host cells as well as to activate molecular antioxidant pathways that decrease the secretions of culprit pro-inflammatory cytokines. Essential oils have long been known to have anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, immunomodulatory, and antiviral properties and are being proposed to have activity against SARC-CoV-2. ./cache/cord-255883-mz6nyisw.txt ./txt/cord-255883-mz6nyisw.txt
