MILAN, Aug. 1, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Dr ZinX has
launched their Patent Pending Zinc + Hinokitiol Oral
Spray across Amazon EU today. This is the first time
a Zinc Ionophore oral spray combination has been available to
the EU market.
"A combination of Zinc Salts and Hinokitiol can be applied as
an inexpensive, effective and safe alternative approach to fight
respiratory viruses." - Dr Nikola Kolundzic,
Kings College London
Following wide publication and support from
President Trump for the use of a
Hydroxychloroquine + Zinc Combination, Zinc has come under
increasing interest. Currently Hydroxychloroquine is only
available through a prescription from a Doctor. This makes the
launch of the Dr ZinX Oral Spray in the EU even more
interesting given its status as a cosmetic, allowing doctors to
issue it freely to patients, without need for a prescription.
Anti-Viral Role of Hinokitiol:
Hinokitol has been found to increase the cellular import of Zn2+
and to be effective in the combat with RNA viruses such as
influenza virus, respiratory syncytial virus and picornaviruses.
Hinokitiol is a tropolone compound with a seven-membered carbon
ring and an isopropyl side chain. Zinc ion is of vital
importance as a cofactor for various cellular processes and viral
proteins. Metallothioneins regulate the intracellular concentration
of free Zn2+. Intracellular Zn2+ concentration disrupts the
replication cycle of certain RNA viruses. - MD MSci Marija
Petkovic
Role of Hinokitiol in Inflammation:
Early evidence suggests that Hinokitiol has a role in dampening
the immune response and preventing excessive inflammation. The
culture of T lymphocytes generated from the spleen of mice resulted
in reduced proliferation of lymphocytes and reduced
expression of the inflammatory cytokine interferon gamma
(IFN-γ) which has a strong role in inflammatory diseases and
autoimmunity. It has also shown that it up-regulates p21, a
regulatory cell cycle inhibitor. The inhibition of this molecule
results in malignant proliferation of T lymphocytes and
autoimmunity.
