Psidium cattleianum as a possible treatment for oxidative stress caused by SARS-CoV-2 infection

Abstract

The SARS-CoV-2 virus presents a lot of proteins in its structure that facilitate host cell infection,
generating an increase in the concentration of angiotensin II and activating multiple signaling
pathways that stimulate the NADPH oxidase enzyme complex and enzymes that take part in the
inflammatory answer. As a consequence, there is an increase in reactive oxygen species (ROS)
that damage different proteins, lipids and nucleic acids. Given this, Psidium cattleianum can
capture free radicals or inhibit the formation of ROS by transferring hydrogen atoms and
electrons. For that, this research has the main objective to determine the influence of Psidium
cattleianum as a possible treatment of oxidative stress caused by the SARS-COV-2 infection in
order to consider the consumption of this berry as a possible alternative as an antioxidant
treatment.
Objective: To determine the influence of Psidium cattleianum as a possible treatment of
oxidative stress caused by SARS-Cov-2 infection.
Materials and methods: The information collected was obtained by consulting the bibliographic
sources: Pubmed / MEDLINE, Google Scholar, Cochrane, SciELO, ScienceDirect and Latindex.
Conclusion: The consumption of Psidium cattleianum is proposed as a complementary treatment
to reduce oxidative stress in patients infected by SARS-CoV-2.
