Abstract

The Covid-19 pandemi was declared by the World Health Organization (WHO) in 2019, has caused a high rate of death. Many vaccine and drug development studies continue against coronaviruses, particularly on SARS-CoV-2. The plants have been used for centuries as folk medicine and food in traditional medicine. Antiviral activity studies are also studied on some plant extracts or their active compounds with the mentioned viruses. At present, traditional medicines can act as a short-term alternative for treating diseases caused by coronaviruses. This review consists of 2 steps. First, ethnobotanical studies from different districts of Ankara province, such as Altindag-Baglum-Kiliclar; Beypazari-Ayas-Gudul; Cubuk Stream and Tatlar; Gudul, Haymana, Polatli (Avsar-Sabanözü-Cile Mountain) and Yenimahalle-Kazan are scanned and the active plants are chosen. Then the plants having activity against RNA viruses were reviewed. The data is examined and the plants which are effective against RNA viruses in Ankara province are shown in Tables.

Ankara İlinde Yapılan Etnobotanik Çalışmaların, Covid-19 Pandemisi Üzerinde Değerlendirilmesi

Abstract

Dünya Sağlık Örgütü (DSÖ) tarafından 2019 yılında ilan edilen Kovit-19 pandemisi, yüksek oranda ölüme neden olmuştur. Koronavirüslere, özellikle SARS-CoV-2’ ye karşı birçok aşı ve ilaç geliştirme çalışması devam etmektedir. Geleneksel tıpta, yüzyıllardır kullanılmakta olan halk ilacı ve gıda olarak bitkilerden elde edilen ekstraktları ya da etken maddeleri üzerinde sözü edilen virüslerle ilgili olarak yapılmış aktivite çalışmaları da mevcuttur. Bu süreçte, doğal ilaçlar, koronavirüs kaynaklı antiviral hastalıkların tedavisinde kısa vadeli alternatif olarak etki gösterebilirler. Bu derlemede iki aşamalı araştırma yapılmıştır. Bunlardan biri Ankara ilinin Altındağ-Bağlum-Kılıçlar; Beypazarı-Ayaş-Güdül; Çubuk Çayı-Tatlar arası; Güdül, Haymana, Polatlı (Avşar-Şabanözü- Çile Dağı) ve Yenimahalle-Kazan bölgelerinde yapılan etnobotanik çalışmalar sonunda yayımlanmış bitkilerin derlenmesi olmuştur. Daha sonra, antiviral çalışmalardan; RNA virüslerine karşı etkili olanlar belirlenmiştir. Her iki aşama sonucunda elde edilen bulgular, Ankara bölgesinde yapılan etnobotanik çalışmalar esas alınarak RNA virüslere karşı etkili olan bitkiler tablo halinde gösterilmiştir.
