Background Since the outbreak of the COVID-19 virus, ethnomedicinal plants have been used in diverse geographical locations for their purported prophylactic and pharmacological effects. Medicinal plants have been relied on by people around the globe for centuries, as 80% of the world’s population rely on herbal medicines for some aspect of their primary health care needs, according to the World Health Organization. Main body This review portrays advances in traditional phytomedicine by bridging the knowledge of ethno-phytomedicine and COVID-19 healthcare. Ethnomedicinal plants have been used for symptoms related to COVID-19 as antiviral, anti-infective, anti-inflammatory, anti-oxidant, antipyretic, and lung–gut immune boosters. Traditionally used medicinal plants have the ability to inhibit virus entry and viral assembly, bind to spike proteins, membrane proteins, and block viral replications and enzymes. The efficacy of traditional medicinal plants in the terms of COVID-19 management can be evaluated by in vitro, in vivo as well as different in silico techniques (molecular docking, molecular dynamics simulations, machine learning, etc.) which have been applied extensively to the quest and design of effective biotherapeutics rapidly. Other advances in traditional phytomedicines against COVID-19 are controlled clinical trials, and notably the roles in the gut microbiome. Targeting the gut microbiome via medicinal plants as prebiotics is also found to be an alternative and potential strategy in the search for a COVID-19 combat strategy. Conclusions Since medicinal plants are the sources of modern biotherapeutics development, it is essential to build collaborations among ethnobotanists, scientists, and technologists toward developing the most efficient and the safest adjuvant therapeutics against the pandemic of the twenty-first century, COVID-19.

“…The plant grows wildly in various habitats and is also cultivated in Europe, Asia, and North America [2]. This is due to its medicinal importance and sometimes as a food supplement [3][4]. On the other hand, it has been reported that the plant extract inhibits metal corrosion [5][6][7].…”

Egyptian Silybum marianum ethanolic-hexane crude extract efficiency was investigated as an inhibitor of bacterial growth and iron steel corrosion in fresh water and marine environment media. Iron steel corrosion inhibition rate was quantitatively measured by two methods: one as a concentration of iron released in the medium over time intervals at different inhibitor ratios against the control using Inductive Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry (ICP-MS), and the second was relative weight loss method. Meanwhile, the development of the adsorption layer of the inhibitor on the surface of the iron steel specimen was monitored qualitatively using scanning electron microscopy. The adsorption of the extract constituents was found to obey Langmuir adsorption isotherm. Bacterial growth inhibition was examined using a well-diffusion method. After three days, the percentage of corrosion inhibition in fresh and marine media was 95% and 91%, respectively at the ratio of 1.5 mg/mL of the crude extract, and a homogeneous adsorption layer was observed on the surface of the iron specimen. The same dose was enough to inhibit bacterial growth in both media. Natural ecofriendly inhibitor extracted from a wild native Egyptian plant was found to be anticorrosion and at the same time antibacterial in both fresh and marine water media.
