THE STATE OF THE ART

Coronaviruses (CoVs) belong to the family Coronaviridae which are enveloped, single-stranded, positive-sense RNA viruses. These viruses generally contain large (˜20 nm), surface projections called “spikes”, which in electron micrographs create an image reminiscent of the solar corona thus giving the name to the family. CoVs commonly cause respiratory problems but can also disrupt the digestive system or lead to systemic problems in mammals, birds and reptiles. In humans, they can cause very severe respiratory diseases such as SARS-CoV in 2002 and Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus (MERS-CoV) in 2012 [1]. The latest corona virus SARS-CoV-2, discovered in China, affected millions of people and killed hundreds of thousands worldwide. The World Health Organization (WHO) announced “COVID-19” as the name of this new disease caused by SARS-CoV-2 [2]. The ongoing SARS-CoV-2 threat that emerged in China has rapidly spread Worldwide and continuing to spread. Thus, many efforts have been directed to investigate drug(s) suitable for preventing and/or treating human SARS-CoV-2. Viruses affecting domesticated and wild animals pose significant economic and sustainability threats to commercial operations and natural ecosystems.

Viral infections of animals are being struggled by vaccines and pharmaceuticals that require evaluation and approval from health authorities. However, viral mutations can make many of these treatment methods ineffective. Moreover, insufficient resources and delayed regulatory approval can hamper vaccine and pharmaceutical development required to keep up with viral mutations. Vaccines and pharmaceuticals can also persist in the environment almost indefinitely and accumulate to biohazardous levels. Moreover, many antiviral treatments are inherently harmful to host subjects, but are used due to the lack of alternatives. Human immunodeficiency therapies are one example that is unable to completely eradicate HIV from the host person, but leaves the host subject's body and immune system in a compromised state.

As of the publication date of our study, there is no specific drugs or vaccines available to treat or prevent SARS-CoV-2. Several countries implemented drugs based on symptom-based therapies [3-5] to prevent further complications and organ damage [6]. There are various preliminary studies for treatment of SARS-CoV-2 infected patients. Anti-retroviral drugs such as remdesivir, lopinavir, ritonavir, oseltamivir is used in individual healing trials or animal experiments. From Wuhan Institute of Virology, Wang et. al. investigated some of the FDA(Food and Drug Administration) approved drugs and found that remdesivir and chloroquine could effectively inhibit the virus in cell-based assay with EC50 of 0.77 and 1.13 μM, respectively [7]. Similar studies reported that, combination of protease inhibitor lopinavir/ritonavir could be used for treatment of SARS-CoV-2.

Other antiviral treatments include nucleoside analogues, neuraminidase inhibitors, umifenovir (arbidol), tenofovir disoproxil (TDF), and lamivudine (3TC) [8]. According to binding free energy calculations using the molecular mechanics, Xu et al. indicated that among 4 tested drugs (nelfinavir, pitavastatin, perampanel, and praziquantel) nelfinavir was identified as the most potential inhibitor against SARS-CoV-2, Mpro [9]. In addition, alternative traditional Chinese medicine implementations have been reported [3, 4, 10, 11]. Although, results from these preliminary studies remain unapproved for therapeutic use in clinical settings they are still very valuable for drug studies against the current pandemic. In order to speed up possible clinical trials and drug discovery against SARS-CoV-2, many compounds that are being used as drugs or supplements for humans are started to be tested as potential lead molecules. Molecules that are going to be implemented as antiviral treatment and protection have several requirements: First of all, stock of the drug must be sufficient and readily available; the safety of treatment should be tolerated by the patients and finally the cost should be as low as possible.

A patent application document numbered US2020237689 A1 relates to nanoemulsion compositions with certain surfactant blend ratios that impart enhanced permeability. The document states that the compositions are suitable for mucosal and intranasal applications and allow for the greater delivery of one or more active agents to the application site to prevent infection by coronavirus.

The use of discovered fragrance molecules and essential oils, alone or combination provides beneficial antiviral effects, especially for SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19).

An essential oil is a volatile material, derived by a physical process from odorous plant material of a single botanical form and species.

Essential oils generally constitute the odorous principles of the plants in which they exist.

The essential oils are either distilled, expressed or extracted. Expression is performed exclusively in the cases of peels of citrus fruits. Extracts are prepared materials.

The term extract is used for perfume materials, flavour materials, pharmaceutical products and many other commercial products. Absolutes, Concretes, Extraits (dissolved extracts), Oleoresins (prepared), Resinoids, and Tinctures are forms of Extracts.

Essential Oils are complex natural mixtures of aromatic secondary metabolites, extracted from herbs, peels, flowers, fruits, seeds, leaves barks, woods, roots, lichens, resins, gums and secretions. The chemical compounds of Essential oils, mainly monoterpenes, sesquiterpenes, oxygenated terpenes, oxygenated sesquiterpenes and phenylpropanoids. Hydrocarbons, alcohols, esters, aldehydes, phenols, acids, ethers and ketones are responsible for the fragrance and pharmacological activities.

Most Essential oils and their characteristic compounds have several biological properties such as anti-stress, anti-aging, antibacterial, antifungal, antiviral, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, wound healing and anti-cancer effects.

Throughout the evolutionary history of life on Earth, essential oils in plants and trees have been theorized to evolve with viruses, bacteria and fungi to protect plants and trees from viral, bacterial and fungal infections. Therefore, by looking at the anti-viral behaviour of the plants, it can be easily seen that the defence mechanism is based on essential oils. In this context, different fragrance ingredient categories for anti-viral activities were reviewed. Virucidal activity of essential oils, which are lipophilic by nature, is probably due to disruption of the viral membrane or interference with viral envelope proteins involved in host cell attachment.

Considering the potential antiviral effects of these natural molecules docking simulations are carried out in order to identify drug target molecules against SARS-CoV-2. For this purpose, two functional proteins that has structure information submitted to Research Collaboratory for Structural Bioinformatics Protein Data Bank (RCSB-PDB) and reported as essential for SARS-CoV-2 spread were picked. These proteins include the SARS-CoV-2, Main Protase (Mpro) and Host Bromodomain protein (BRD2).

First protein that is used in this study is the target protein used in many recent studies, the Main protease which is also named as chymotrypsin-like protease. This protease can cleave many sites in the polyproteins and generate non-structural proteins (nsps) that play role in the assembly of replicase-transcriptase complex (RTC). Inhibition of this protease suggested as a potential drug that can prevent the spread of SARS-CoV-2. The crystal structure of this protein was resolved by several groups and RCSB-PDB contains many entries for this protein. In studies, the structure of SARS-CoV-2 main protease bound to potent broad-spectrum non-covalent inhibitor X77 (6W63) [18] is used.

The second protein in our study is a host protein which is a member of the bromodomain extra terminal protein family. This family proteins known to regulate expression of —1,450 genes. Early reports from the cell mapping initiative at Quantitative Biosciences Institute Coronavirus Research Group indicate that BRD2 a member of bromodomain protein family may interact with SARS-CoV-2 envelope proteins. The bromodomain proteins recognize and bind to acetylated histones and play a critical role for host's hype-immune response. SARS-CoV-2 virus protein E mimics acetylated histones and could bind to the same site on BRD-2 [19]. It has been suggested that BRD2 inhibitors can potentially block where SARS-CoV-2 envelop protein E binds and could be used as drug targets. In this study, the used crystal structure (5UEW) of BRD2 is obtained from RCSB-PDB [20].

Analysis of essentials oils for identifying the molecules were performed by GC/MS (Gas chromatography coupled with Mass Spectrometry. The instruments used are Agilent 6890 gas chromatograph equipped with a split/splitless inlet in combination with Agilent 5973N MSD. Separations were done 50 m×0.32 mm id Carbowax 20 M and SE 54 columns. The oven heated 3° C. per minute from 60° C. to 260° C. and hold for five minutes at 260° C. in both polar and non-polar columns. Separated components are identified by in-house EPS Fragrances MS library, Wiley Registry 10th Edition/Nist 2014 Mass Spectrum Library (W10n14), NIST 2017 Mass Spectral Library (Nist17), Adams Essential oil Identification Mass Spectrum Library (Adams) [21-26].

Analysis of docking studies, carried by two different software and total of three different methods showed that several of the tested molecules showed low binding affinities, as good as or better than the drug candidate molecules against SARS-CoV-2, presented in the current literature. This finding suggest that the molecules found in this study are good candidates to bind the selected target molecules MPro and BRD2. Following the virtual screening and lead identification studies presented in this study, lead optimization and clinical studies could initiate the discovery of a new drug(s) that can potentially prevent and/or cure SARS-CoV-2 infection. According to our in-silico study, the following essential oil molecules (Table-2) shows best binding affinities towards SARS-CoV-2 virus.

Although, the molecules in Table-2 could be extracted from corresponding essential oils or could be synthesized. It is much easier, cheaper and practical to use the essential oil whereas the molecule has been found. Mixing these essential oils create a synergetic effect in combating virus and could be much more effective. Once viral effective essential oils are combined with anti-bacterial essential oils which are used as traditionally phenomena treatment would be a complete potential preventing agent.

Using essential oil vapors as inhaled antiseptics would be effective against combinations of viruses, bacteria and perhaps fungi that could form associated, or symbiotic relationships, resulting in complex infections that might be responsible for SARS-CoV-2 (Covid-19). An inhaled antiseptic approach is ideal when the nature of the pathogen is unknown and/or the pathogen mutates rapidly. The essential oil vapors can be provided immediately to humans in the form of simple hand-held inhaler devices.

Most essential oils are fat soluble. Therefore, these oils permeate the lung tissue. After inhalation, some of the vapors enter the blood stream. These oils are thought to cross the blood-brain boundary and may possibly eradicate pathogens elsewhere in the body. According to the literature, there is little chance for humans overdosing on inhaling essential oil vapors. In about two hours after inhalation, the vapors have normally been exhaled back out of the body--primarily from the lungs.

Selected essential oils, smell very good to humans, and the patients are therefore likely to repetitively inhale the vapors to suitably prevent, treat, or cure infections from pathogens causing SARS-CoV-2. It is likely necessary to repetitively inhale the essential oil vapors every two hours or so to prevent infections caused by a nearby infected individual who may be coughing, sneezing, etc. Infections of pathogens causing SARS-CoV-2 may be made more severe in the presence of other infections such as bronchitis, TB, or some other form of pneumonia in the patient. Therefore, a broad antiseptic approach is desirable. If such an inhaled antiseptic approach appeared to “help”, it could be implemented immediately giving more time to come up with other therapies, perhaps including immunization therapies. Inhaled antiseptic essential oil vapors have an immediate impact in the lungs, whereas digested pills take relatively longer, and immunization can still take longer periods of time.

Definitions

As used herein, the recited terms have the following meanings. All other terms and phrases used in this specification have their ordinary meanings as one of skill in the art would understand after review of this disclosure.

As used herein, the terms “EOs” or “essential oils” refer to aromatic, volatile liquids extracted from organic material, such as plants. Fragrance substances are mixtures of natural essential oils and synthetic organic odorous compounds with characteristic, usually pleasant, odors. They are used in perfumes and perfumed cosmetic products, in detergents, soaps, fabric softeners, air care, incense and other household products where fragrance may be used to mask unpleasant odors from raw materials and give a pleasant smell [12-16]. These substances are also used in aromatherapy and other products as topical medicaments for their antiseptic, antibacterial, antifungal, and antiviral properties.

Essential oils can be derived from the flowers, fruits, seeds, leaves, stalks, barks, roots, and rhizomes of sources. As used herein, “plants” and “plant derivatives” can refer to any portion of a growing plant, including the roots, stems, stalks, leaves, branches, berries, seeds, flowers, fruits, bark, wood, rhizomes, resins, and the like.

As used herein, the term “agitate” refers to exerting an outside force on a material, such as stirring, shaking, or vibrating. A vessel can be agitated by turning, tipping, shaking, etc. A paddle or stirrer can be utilized within a vessel to agitate.

As used herein, the term “emulsion” refers to a system containing two or more liquids, in which at least one liquid is not substantially soluble or miscible in at least one other liquid. In an emulsion, one liquid, the “dispersed phase”, is dispersed throughout a second liquid, the “continuous phase”, and is often present as a fine dispersion of droplets. An EO may be emulsified or substantially emulsified within a carrier medium, such as water. In this example, the water is the continuous phase, and the EO is the dispersed phase present as a dispersion of droplets. An emulsion can optionally include an emulsifier and/or stabilizer, which can encourage the formation of the droplets by the dispersed phase, maintain the size or shape of the dispersed phase droplets, assist in reducing or reduce the size of the dispersed phase droplets, or combinations thereof. Emulsions can significantly increase the surface area of a dispersed phase. Some emulsions can further comprise dispersed insoluble particles such as solid carriers, mineral chelates, mineral salts, or the like. A low droplet size of a dispersed phase can advantageously aid in the dispersion of insoluble particles throughout the continuous phase.

As used herein, the term “emulsifier” refers to a substance that stabilizes an emulsion. The emulsifier can utilize physical properties, chemical properties, or utilize both physical and chemical properties to interact with one or more substances of an emulsion.

As used herein, “carrier” refers to a substance that physically or chemically binds or combines with a target or active substance to facilitate the use, storage, or application of the target or active substance. Carriers are often inert materials, but can also include non-inert materials when compatible with the target or active substances. Examples of carriers include, but are not limited to, water for compositions that benefit from a liquid carrier, or diatomaceous earth or limestone for compositions that benefit from a solid carrier.

The disclosure herein indicates the efficacy of compositions comprising a plurality of EOs which provide a synergistic effect beyond EOs utilized in isolation. Further, EO compositions provided herein do not exhibit antagonistic effect between EO moieties within a composition. An EO composition generally includes an EO fraction and optionally one or more additional components. The ratio of the EO fraction to the one or more additional components in a composition can depend on several factors such as administration method, and the nutritional/health needs and/or palate of a consuming subject, among others. In many embodiments, a consuming subject comprises an animal or a human. Compositions can comprise additional components including carriers, emulsifiers, and stabilizers, among others. Compositions can be in the form of an emulsion.

Embodiments of EO compositions provided herein are effective against enveloped viruses, especially SARS-CoV-2. EO compositions can impair, disable, or destroy viral envelopes, thereby preventing the virus from identifying host cells, fusing to host cells, or protecting the viral body against a host immune system. As a result of these non-limiting proposed antiviral mechanisms, the compositions provided herein are generally effective against most or all strains of SARS-CoV-2. EO compositions provided herein can be administered in combination with vaccines and pharmaceuticals. The EO compositions described herein further provide indirect antiviral benefits. For example, EOs are known to be antibacterial and antifungal and have low cytotoxicity, and accordingly maintain or increase immune system strength.

The EO fractions of embodiments disclosed herein are configured to provide an antiviral effect with low toxicity to the host subject or system. Further, such low toxicity is paired with an effect which generally enhances the health and immune system of a host subject, thereby providing a second antiviral effect stemming from the immune system of the host in addition to the antiviral effect of the EO composition.

EO compositions as provided herein contain EOs derived from plants (i.e., “natural” EOs) and additionally or alternatively their synthetic analogues. Many embodiments comprise a combination of EOs. Some embodiments comprise a combination of natural and synthetic materials. [17]

Such present formulation was blended together to yield 50 grams of reed diffuser oil, which was then placed in a 75 ml glass bottle. Then, 20cm, 4 reeds were placed in such bottle. Wood, plant-based, or cellulose fiber materials are used as reed due to their oil absorbing characteristic. Based on diffusion principles, the oil is conducted, via a capillary action, to surfaces where the oil can evaporate. The evaporation rate was then monitored by weight loss over the time. Employing this method affords anti-viral action by time as anti-bacterial/anti-viral composition diffuses to the air and provides long-lasting activity in regular application.

Example 6—Anti-bacterial/Anti-Viral Air Freshner & Sanitizer Formulation

To provide the benefits of the present invention in an air freshener form, 5% of the anti-bacterial/anti-viral Formula G is added to 80° Alcohol (produced in accordance with example-2). The mixture is filled in an appropriate PET bottle with a trigger at top. Employing this method affords immediate anti-viral action and provides long-lasting activity in regular application.

Example 7—Anti-bacterial/Anti-Viral Air Nebulizer Formulation

To provide the benefits of the present invention in an air nebulizer form, 10-15 drops of anti-bacterial/anti-viral Formula F is added to water in air nebulizer machine. The machine is adjusted according to the requirement. Employing this method affords immediate anti-viral action and provides long-lasting activity in regular application.

The hand cream was prepared by dispersed in water and Carbopol Ultrez 21 without agitation. As the polymer is wetted, agitation is started and mixture was heated to 50-55°. As the mixture is homogeneous Carbapol is added first, after that Glycerin and Cathon CG are added. Phase B was prepared and heated till the solution is melted. Phase B is added with agitation, once Phase A was homogeneous. Then, triethanolamine is added into the emulsion to neutralize and mixed. The anti-bacterial/anti-viral hand cream was prepared by adding Formula D, 0.5% by weight, under gentle agitation.

Cream is applied to hands as needed. Employing this method affords immediate anti-viral action and provides long-lasting activity after drying.

The lotion is produced by mixing all ingredients in Phase A until the solution is clear and adding Edeta Bx Powder and Citric acid on the clear solution. The anti-bacterial/anti-viral wet wipe was prepared by adding Formula E, 2% by weight, under gentle shaking.

This solution may be used to produce a wet wipe product for topical cleaning and/or sanitizing of skin and/or hard surfaces. Such a product is made by saturating a paper or cloth substrate with the liquid composition prepared in accordance with the previous section. The level of saturation depends upon the substrate in which incorporation of the antiviral composition is desired. A 5″×8″ hand wipe paper made from 40-60 grams per square meter spun-lace non-woven material may be saturated with about 1-3 grams of liquid composition. The liquid may be applied to the substrate via spraying and/or soaking prior to final packaging. The wipe may be wrapped in single use pouches made from foil or plastic or packed in groups of 10, 40, or more in multiple use tubs.

To deliver the benefits of the present invention in this form, the wipe is removed from its package and is rubbed onto the target surface, in a manner that ensures complete wetting of the surface. The wetting practice removes visible dirt and eradicates viruses. Upon drying, the surface experiences anti-viral activity for several hours. Employing this method affords immediate anti-viral action and provides long-lasting activity in regular application.
