Abstract

The recent pandemic of coronavirus, COVID 19, has made researchers to search for novel antidotes against SARS-CoV-2. Utilizing all the available information on this pandemic scientific communities are currently working hard to find antidote. Activity of sulfated polysaccharides is observed on both enveloped and non-enveloped virus against the binding or entry inside the cell. Exopolysaccharides from Porphyridium have antiviral SPs which are active against respiratory coronaviruses. Sanitary items can be coated with these bioactive compounds to prevent COVID-19 infections.

Keywords: Porphyridium; COVID-19; Polysaccharides; Carrageenan
