Abstract

SARS-COV-2 virus is a new coronavirus variant that causes the severe acute respiratory syndrome. COVID-19 can cause abnormalities in various organs. It is due to increased levels of cytokines causing a cytokine storm. Cytokine storms occur due to an increase in the innate immune system to eliminate infectious agents. Activation of the production of inflammatory mediators causes pulmonary fibrosis, interstitial fluid infiltration, and impermeability in blood vessels. Qutshul al Hindi, or in Latin called Sausurea sp contains anti-inflammatory activity. However, the study about the definite benefit of bioactive in this plant against COVID-19 and their mechanism, especially to the immune system, needs more explanation. Therefore, this review discusses their mechanism against COVID-19 by activating immune cells. In the literature research, we approach the studies that examine the secondary metabolite of Qutshul al Hindi that is effective in activating and enhancing the immune response against covid 19. Our literature review shows that qutshul al Hindi (Sausurea sp) has anti-inflammatory activity by inhibiting expression and activity of cytokine proinflammation  induced by the innate immune system. So that this plant is a promising herb as a therapeutic candidate for covid-19 by regulating the immune system to produce and activate cytokine pro-inflammatory.
