Many compounds from therapeutic plants have been studied as potential antiviral agents. To control the
spread, phytochemicals are employed to decrease viral copy production. This evaluation will be helpful
to the scientific community’s investigations into microbes and their infection. Other common viruses
that are impacted by the phytochemicals of medicinal plants include herpes simplex, DNA viruses,
poliovirus, cytomegalovirus, influenza, para-influenza type 3 and herpes simplex. The root of the
plant is the most important and effective part for manufacturing strong phytochemicals. This review
provides an overview of a number of phytochemicals, their synthesis and their medicinal qualities,
which offer a wide range of therapeutic effects for the treatment of various viral infections. The
phytochemical and pharmacological properties of these drugs are the subject of research aimed at
identifying the essential chemical constituents and substantiating the efficacy and safety of these
claims. Thus, there is promise for the future of medicinal plants because they have the potential to
outperform chemical-based allopathic treatments.
