One Form Of Hydroxychloroquine Most Effective Against CoVid

from Dr. Howard Smith OnCall · host Howard G. Smith MD, AM

  Vidcast:  https://youtu.be/aOyTd1xJVy0   Not all forms of HCQ or CQ are created equal..  A Chinese study just published by the online pre-print server biorxiv.org reopens the HCQ/CQ controversy with a bit of sophisticated organic chemistry.   Clinically available hydroxychloroquine is a blend of two mirror images of the same molecule, the left and right enantiomers.  The study shows that L-HCQ inhibits CoVid replication 60% better than the R-HCQ.  L-CQ is 27% more effective than R-CQ.    The mixed HCQ and CQ does’t help CoVid patients.   If these findings are confirmed by other investigators, cautious clinical studies might show that the lefty versions do.   https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2020.05.26.114033v2.full.pdf   #covid #hcq #hydroxchloroquine #cq #enantiomers #distereoisomers
