Artemisia annua + Zinc for the Treatment of COVID-19: A Potential Successful Combination Therapy with Ivermectin.

This study uncovers and explains for the first time the active chemical and molecular synergistical activities among Artemisia annua, zinc, hydrogen peroxide and phenols. These collective molecular interactions lead to strong anti-COVID-19 properties of Artemisia annua. This research explores the following topics: Zinc in Antiviral Immunity; Anti-Viral Vaccine Activity of Zinc (?); Zinc, Hydrogen Peroxide and Neutrophil Defense; Zinc Oxide; Zinc Targeting Iron; Zinc and COVID-19; Phenols, Zinc and The Fenton Reaction; Artemisia annua Phenols; Hydrogen Peroxide; Effects of Hydrogen Peroxide on Plasma Membrane and Calcium Mobilization; Hydrogen Peroxide in Vascular Endothelial Cells; Artemisia annua and Hydrogen Peroxide; Zinc Ionophores & Metal Chelation by Artemia annua; Combination Therapies; Ivermectin and Viral Inhibition.
