Abstract
Plant Secondary Metabolites (PSMs) are naturally occurring organic compounds inside the plant produced in response to any internal or external environmental stress. These organic chemicals are in different forms (Terpenoids, polyphenols, alkaloids, etc.). PSMs are an active source of medicines against many types of viral as well as microbial diseases. Pakistani flora is also a rich source of medicinal plants, and their therapeutic range has great importance. These plants are already in use against various types of microbial diseases. The primary aim to write this paper is to highlight PSMs of medicinal plants of Pakistani flora, which can be effective against COVID-19
