11 However, the biologic activity of zinc against viruses may require ionophores, such as pyrithione, to block viral replication.13 Ascorbic acid is known to be an antioxidant, and a variety of studies have suggested that it can affect the immune system.14 Moreover, in vitro and in vivo ...
confers its biocompatibility being less toxic and are highly biodegradable due to the soluble nature of Zn+2ions [18]. It is abundant in many bodily tissues, including the brain, muscle, bone, skin and integral part of many enzyme systems. Zinc participates in the body's metabolic pathways a...

This compound is a “zinc ionophore”—it opens a special “door” or “gate” in the cell membrane so that zinc can get into the cells. This may help boost your resistance to the SARS-CoV-2 virus at the cellular level, although that is still unproven. Dr. Zev Zelenko has what he ...
Contact of rat platelets with thrombin or the divalent cation ionophore A-23187, in the presence of extracellular calcium, resulted in the secretion of adenosine 3':5'-monophosphate (cyclic AMP) and guanosine 3':5'-monophosphate (cyclic ... H Hidaka,T Asano - 《Journal of Biological Chemistry...

the pilot clinical application of zinc chelator and/or ionophore strategy, such as the use of quinoline-based compounds, namely clioquinol and PBT2, has not yet been successful. The emerging findings revealed a list of key zinc transporters whose mRNA or protein levels were abnormally altered at...
Here, we used clioquinol as a reference zinc chelator and ionomycin as a calcium ionophore. We calculated the half-maximal inhibitory concentration (IC50), representative of the half-maximal binding concentrations for drugs against 20 μM ZnCl2. 1H10 had an IC50 of 10.01 μM, which was higher...
The rare SLC30A8 mutation encoding a truncating p.Arg138* variant (R138X) in zinc transporter 8 (ZnT8) is associated with a 65% reduced risk for type 2 diabetes. To determine whether ZnT8 is required for beta cell development and function, we derived hum
