Since ancient times, different plant-derived therapeutic agents have been used due to the richness and effects of secondary metabolites interacting between the substrate and the receptor to treat various diseases [1]. Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) is no exception.
Among the plants found in the Valle del Cauca region (Colombia) is Pelargonium hortorum, commonly known as geranium, an ornamental plant native to North America with antimicrobial, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antiviral, analgesic, and wound-healing properties, suggesting broad potential and applications for medicinal purposes [2].
