The related article aimed to illuminate the chemical and biological mechanisms behind the Chinese herbal formula lung-cleaning and toxicity-excluding (LCTE) soup’s effects by exploring the chemical compounds contained in LCTE ingredients, the proteins targeted by these compounds as well as undertaking the network pharmacology analysis. This is because LCTE soup may play an important role in treating the ongoing and life-threating worldwide pandemic COVID-19.
