Remember our discussion about ACE-2?

Quoting from a 2005 peer reviewed article: virologyj.biomedcentral.com

In addition to the well-known functions of chloroquine such as elevations of endosomal pH, the drug appears to interfere with terminal glycosylation of the cellular receptor, angiotensin-converting enzyme 2.

Note/edit: Glycosylation refers to the attachment process, so in layman’s terms, quinine-derived stuff prevents attachment. I wish these guys would write in a way an interested amateur could comprehend.

Obviously, SARS to which the article refers is not cv-19. But it is a corona virus. Quinine and it’s artificial analogues should have been a serious focus of research from the git-go. If I could find the article, virologists could too.
