Black tea bioactives have the potential to inhibit multiple targets of SARS-CoV-2, says Indian scientists © Provided by The Times of India GUWAHATI: After China and Taiwan, scientists at the world’s oldest tea research centre, Tocklai Tea Research Institute of the Tea Research Association India in upper Assam’s Jorhat district, have proved the inhibitory potential of tea bioactives against SARS-CoV-2. Their latest study on virtual screening and molecular dynamics simulation, published in the ‘Journal of Biomolecular Science & Dynamics’, showed that tea bioactive compounds, Theaflavin-3,3’-digallate, Procyanidin B2 and Theaflavin-3-gallate, found in black tea, have the potential to act as inhibitors of multiple targets of SARS-CoV-2 - RdRp, 3CLpro and PLpro proteins respectively, compared to known antiviral drugs.
