Viruses are minuscule, catastrophic biological entity adversely affects human health and socioeconomic status worldwide. A plethora of plant-based antiviral molecules has been described in the form of research articles, and scientific reviews but in the era of telecommunication the developed database “AVR-AgDb” could serve as a pioneer tool to access the potential antiviral molecule and their characteristic features on a single click to combat the threatening virus and ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.

The developed database provides a complete web resource information on plant-based anti-viral medicinal plants for selected common life-threatening viruses viz. Herpes simplex virus, Human immunodeficiency virus, Influenza, and parainfluenza virus, Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2, Hepatitis virus, Respiratory syncytial virus, Vesicular stomatitis virus, Measles virus, Coxsackie viruses, Poliovirus, Japanese encephalitis virus, Picorna virus, Vaccinia virus, Dengue virus, Zika virus, and Astrovirus.

Furthermore, it may allow the user to access the identified active antiviral compounds in particular studies, their source of origin, common name, and chemical properties, the type of extract used in the study, and screened model cell lines along with linked references. All-inclusive, it provides user-friendly access to plant-based antiviral bioactive molecules that will be of multifarious utility in the endeavor to reduce the economic burden for small, medium, and large economies and also for better innate immunity of the human population for the future threat of unforeseen viral outbreak at endemic or pandemic level.
