Hinokitiol is one of the Zinc Ionophores, which means they can attach themselves to Zinc molecules and transport them across the cell membranes hence increasing the intracellular zinc concentrations; therefore many studies revealed this capability has the potential to inhibit viral replication. The advantage of Zinc’s antiviral properties can be accelerated by using it in combination with Hinokitiol.[1]
Zinc Inhibits Viral Replication
According to a recent article on Nutritional Immunology, Zinc ionophore such as hinokitiol hindered the RNA synthesis by inhibiting the RNA dependent polymerase in picornavirus, poliovirus, and influenza. [2] Furthermore, another study revealed that Hinokitiol also exhibits antiviral activity against rhinovirus, coxsackievirus, and megnovirus replication. When hinokitiol is combined with zinc it increases the intracellular Zinc ions which in return causes puncture to the cell as well as mitochondria.[3]
