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
