A Novel Combination of Vitamin C, Curcumin, and Glycyrrhizic Acid Has the Potential to Regulate Immune and Inflammatory Responses in Coronavirus Infections: A System Biology Perspective
Author(s): Thomas Francis*
In recent years, new Coronaviruses (CoV) have developed on a
regular basis all across the world. CoVs are constantly
proliferating, posing a threat to world health and the economy.
Because there is no specific treatment for these CoVs, any
effective method (including nutritional and dietary approaches) is
worth looking into. A unique combination of vitamin C,
curcumin, and glycyrrhizic acid (VCG Plus) was developed based
on current breakthroughs in nutrients and phytonutrients
research that offers potential against CoV infection. System
biology methods were used to investigate the potential of VCG
Plus in altering immune and inflammatory response targets
and pathways. Along with network analysis, gene target
acquisition, gene ontology, and Kyoto Encyclopaedia of
Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway enrichment were all done
at the same time.
