Quercitin (QCT), epigallocatechin3-gallate (EGCG) and Chloroquine (Cq) are ionophores and can efficiently transport Zn2+ through the cell membrane where it can impair the replication of a variety of RNA viruses, including Sars-CoV-2 virus. Increasing the intracellular Zinc concentration with zinc-ionophores has been attributed to interference with viral polyprotein replication. The RNA synthesis of coronaviruses is catalyzed by an RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp), which is the core enzyme of their multiprotein replication and transcription complex (RTC). Treatment of cells with zinc together with QCT, EGCG, or CQ elicits a rapid and drastic increase in detectable intracellular zinc. These ionophores form membrane-permeable complexes that are transported into the cell and that, once within the cell, chelator−zinc complexes dissociate into the single compounds due to the low concentration of intracellular free and labile zinc, thus providing labile zinc cations. The Zn2+ cation then stops the Coronavirus RdRp from reproducing and the body’s macrophage defense system can eliminate the remaining virus.
