A recent study suggests that a tree native to Brazil's Atlantic Forest may offer unexpected defenses against COVID-19.
Researchers have identified galloylquinic acids, compounds derived from the tree's leaves, which appear capable of attacking SARS-CoV-2 in several ways.
These findings could pave the way for new treatment options for the virus, though further research is needed to fully understand their potential.
