Effects of Basic Amino Acids and Their Derivatives on SARS-CoV-2 and Influenza-A
- PaulHoule 5y agoAnything in vitro with viruses is almost certainly going to be a disappointment. For instance, Ivermectin is one of those big (small) molecules which is floppy in some places but also has bits of rigid structure. At high doses it is going to bind to many different things. At high doses it will kill you. Few poisons kill you by killing cells (like HCN) but rather like Strychnine, Sarin, Amatoxin they kill you by interfering with the job some population of cells does. Cultured cells aren't doing that job, so you might not even notice that those deadly poisons are poisons in a cell culture.
