Covid-19 disease caused by Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) is a global epidemic that affects millions of lives. To date, there no definitive cure for the and vaccination efforts with newly produced vaccines will take years to complete. In silico studies have suggested different flavonoids play an antiviral role against SARS-CoV-2. this study, based on in findings, we examined vitro effects four promising flavonoids, Hesperidin, Oleuropein, Epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG), Myricetin. First, extracted these from natural plant sources purified using liquid chromatography (LC). Next, analysed cell toxicity activity at concentrations Our results SARS-CoV-2 infected Vero E6 model were found contradict previous vitro. Studies investigating should be directed those other than oleuropein, hesperidin, EGCG,
