Abstract

SARS-CoV-2 (severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2) is a new type of coronavirus that was discovered in Wuhan in December 2019. This virus is the cause of COVID-19, which is still a global pandemic until now.  In onion (Allium cepa L.) there are several secondary metabolites including flavonoids. Three flavonoid classes are mainly found in onion are quercetin, anthocyanins and kaempferol.  This compound has demonstrated the inhibitory potential associated with COVID-19.  Furthermore, in this study, it was known the potential of onions as an inhibitor of 3CLPro SARS-CoV-2 by the flavonoid compounds present in onion.  The literature search method was obtained from Pubchem, Elsevier, Science Direct, and Google Scholar using the keywords "Quercetin", "Anthocyanin", "Kaempferol", "Allium cepa L."  and “SARS-CoV-2”.  The selected literature is literature with a maximum publishing range of the last 10 years.  Quercetin showed antiviral properties of SARS-CoV-2 with inhibition of 3CLpro, ACE2 and PLpro while anthocyanins and kaempferol also showed inhibition of PLpro SARS-CoV-2.  Quercetin, kaempferol, anthocyanins can be used as promising candidates for the development of drugs to treat infections caused by SARS-CoV-2.
