    In this lecture Professor Zach Murphy will be presenting on Molnupiravir. This drug has been developed by Merck and is indicated for patients with mild to moderate COVID-19 to be taken orally. During this lecture we will be discussing the mechanism of action (MOA) and pharmacology for Molnupiravir, intended population, efficacy and safety concerns. We hope you enjoy this lecture and be sure to support us below!

    New subscriber. Great presentation. I am taking my last dose of this medication tonight. I do think it has helped me a lot. My fever dropped and generally improving, still have some chest congestion. But I felt less “toxic”. I was in the target population. Aged 68, heart disease, overweight. This really helped me understand the mode of action.

      There is none.

      You can see clear as day which one is potentially more risky long term.

    Thanks. A good VDO and rare to here anyone talking about the African green monkey study. The only point which has been made in some earlier studies is that there is a ‘random’ effect too that isn’t captured in increasing the concentrations of NHC to a a level that clearly damages all or most host cells (one study suggested that only one does could be enough although it might be 1/1000). In conclusion, It is unknown what the actual level might be before there are random or odd mutations to our DNA although we known from the monkeys what the level is for mass cell mutations - however, agreed that the chance rises with higher doses.

    I have long covid symptoms, and I am doing the dumm thing now, and read about antihistamines helping, so I started it, and it worked like magic. I would say avoid it because it can be dangerous for kidney and liver, but man I am on 90% instead of about 30-40%. Soar throat, dry cough, some muscle pain, brain fog, I felt like waves of heat and cold but never had fever, and all that is gone... mostly. I was never tested positive for covid, but there was a period of time when I felt like a very mild cold. I have 3 Pfizer shots, but I"ve read that long-covid can happen even with asymptomatic infection. So... could you elaborate on this in a video?

I'm vaccinated and overall pretty healthy outside of having asthma, so I would have probably been fine without it, but my city had a plentiful stock so they gave me some anyways. I've had two doses already and so far no weird side effects.

    Hello Ninja, thought I'd ask if you could do a video on ivermectin. As there is a lot of controversy regarding that particular agent. I read studies and anecdotes of people getting clinically better and not getting sick as a prophylaxis, and then I read that it is not a good agent at all. If you can look into the mechanism of action on how it operates that would be a awesome (although the youtube gods might try to take it down). Thanks!

    • @DeJaVuNous
      @DeJaVuNous 2 роки тому +1

      If you do a search using the terms “mechanism of action” for a given medication, you can find articles about it. One of the proposed mechanisms is that it binds to some of the channels on the surface of a cell where proteins can enter; it makes the invader proteins less able to get inside the cells to replicate. This is why it is also proposed if it’s already replicated a bunch it may not be as effective. There are lots of molecular pathways in the body, and that can make it tricky to determine what is going on specifically.

    Wait a sec... so it leads to a ton of lethal mutagenesis, and even if some of the mutations would be beneficial /rule of the big numbers/, the translation of those would also end up in lethal mutagenesis, right? But is that means that this drug has to be taken like antibiotics, so until the immunne system eradicates the virus?

    @Joy-ew3pv 2 роки тому

    It is interesting that there is a line of inquiry into whether such a mutative drug has not had the effect, here in SA, during its trial study that ended up developing the highly mutated Omicron variant. It is a fascinating thought experiment that fiddling with the genetic code of anything can have the effect of killing the thing but also the effect of allowing mutation when the drug is given at various doses in its trial whereby facilitating supercharged mutation. Will be interesting to see the results of that study as it will be a huge warning to further drug developers to be very cautious in dealing with genetic code. Clearly there are other lines of inquiry. for example that Omicron was brewed up within a sadly very immuno-compromised patient or that it has been through a cycle of animal-human-animal-human transmission which has allowed such vast mutation. Both also equally viable options are this point, as far as I understand it.
