One Form Of Hydroxychloroquine Most Effective Against CoVid
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.
