“In other words, researchers want to stop the virus at any possible stage, whether it’s preventing it from entering the body or keeping it from reproducing once it has a foothold. If the virus particles bind themselves to something else, the hope is they won’t get hold of a human cell at all. Van Breeman and his colleagues successfully tested CBDA and CBGA against the spike proteins produced by alpha and beta, two major variants of the novel coronavirus.
This approach – blocking receptor sites – has been a source of treatment in other diseases, including HIV and hepatitis. Both CBDA & CBGA can be absorbed orally, which could make future treatments simpler, too.”
CBDA & CBGA, two compounds found in h**p and cannabis plants, show promising potential as future subjects for COVID19 research.
