ABSTRACT
Coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) has become a major global epidemic. Facilitated by HTS2 technology, we evaluated the effects of 578 herbs and all 338 reported anti-COVID-19 TCM formulae on cytokine storm-related signaling pathways, and identified the key targets of the relevant pathways and potential active ingredients in these herbs. This large-scale transcriptional study innovatively combines HTS2 technology with bioinformatics methods and computer-aided drug design. For the first time, it systematically explores the molecular mechanism of TCM in regulating the COVID-19-related cytokine storm, providing an important scientific basis for elucidating the mechanism of action of TCM in treating COVID-19.
