Abstract

Background: Novel coronavirus pneumonia COVID-19 has become a serious threat to human health. Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) has a good clinical effect in the treatment of COVID-19, with a high effective rate and a low rate of turning to the serious stage.

Objective: We generated the web-accessed anti-COVID-19 TCM database to provide the anti-COVID-19 TCM information to develop effective drugs for the treatment of COVID-19.

Methods: Herein, we collected these prescriptions data by querying the CNKI and Wanfang Chinese databases, the clinical guidance for COVID-19 pneumonia diagnosis and treatment, and further set up the web-accessible anti-COVID-19 TCM database.

Results: Altogether, 293 different prescriptions are applied in four different COVID-19 stages of treatment, and the prevention of COVID-19 is composed of 452 TCM components.

Conclusion: The database provides comprehensive information for anti-COVID TCM and thus would help to investigate novel ways to develop new anti-COVID-19 agents.

Keywords: COVID-19, traditional chinese medicine, database, prescriptions, SARS-CoV-2, pneumonia.
