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]
