Zinc ionophores may help inhibit SARS-CoV-2 replication by increasing intracellular zinc, which suppresses RNA-dependent RNA polymerase.
“Zinc inhibits the action of RNA-dependent RNA polymerase. That means it stops the replication of viruses. However, zinc is a positively charged ion and cannot get inside cells without a transporter. Zinc requires an ionophore, which is a compound that transports ions across a lipid membrane.”
