Abstract

Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) has aggressed in more than 200 countries and territories since Dec 2019, and 30 million cases of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) caused by SARS-CoV-2 have been reported, including 950,000 deaths. Supportive treatment remains the mainstay of therapy for COVID-19. There are no small-molecule–specific antiviral drugs available to prevent and treat COVID-19 until recently. Herbal medicine can facilitate syndrome differentiation and treatment according to the clinical manifestations of patients and has demonstrated effectiveness in epidemic prevention and control. The National Health Commission (NHC) of China has recommended “three TCM prescriptions and three medicines,” as a group of six effective herbal formulas against COVID-19 in the released official file “Diagnosis and Treatment Protocol for COVID-19 Patients: Herbal Medicine for the Priority Treatment of COVID-19.” This study aimed to develop a collaborative filtering approach to signaling drug combinations that are similar to the six herbal formulas as potential therapeutic treatments for treating COVID-19. The results have been evaluated by herbal medicine experts’ domain knowledge.
