Potential therapeutic effects related to Covid-19

Last updated 2022-Mar-31

Clinical trials are recommended for products which are Interleukin-1 Inhibitors or Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitors

Research shows that nerolidol inhibits Interleukin-1β in vitro and in vivo:

  • Nerolidol inhibits the LOX-1 / IL-1β signaling

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31926445/
"The administration of nerolidol reduced the severity of fungal keratitis with infiltration of fewer inflammatory cells and reduced levels of the LOX-1, as well the anti-inflammatory cytokines such as IL-1β"

"Nerolidol notably inhibited the increase of TNFα and IL-1β"

 

  • Nerolidol exhibits antinociceptive and anti-inflammatory activity: involvement of the GABAergic system and proinflammatory cytokines

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/26791997/
"Nerolidol reduced production of interleukin 1 beta (IL-1β) in LPS-stimulated, peritoneal macrophages."

 

  • Effect of nerolidol on cyclophosphamide-induced bone marrow and hematologic toxicity in Swiss albino mice

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31987924/
"biochemical analysis revealed increased malondialdehyde (MDA), tumor necrosis factor α (TNF-α), interleukin (IL)-6, and IL-1β levels and reduced superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), and IL-10 levels (from cyclophosphamide).  Treatment with NER significantly reversed the hematotoxic and myelotoxic aberrations ( and retained the structural integrity of bone marrow."
 

Computer models indicate nerolidol has very good potential to inhibit Tyrosine Kinase:

  • Tyrosinase inhibitory activity, molecular docking studies and antioxidant potential of chemotypes of Lippia origanoides (Verbenaceae) essential oils

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28459864/
"The best docking energies were observed with thymol and (E)-nerolidol (-79.8 kcal.mol-1), which suggested H-bonding interactions with Met281 and His263 (thymol) and His259, His263 ((E)-nerolidol)."

 

Devil's club essential oil (branch bark) contains more than 50% nerolidol and based upon published studies and CDC treatment guidelines is eligible to be a candidate for clinical trials for treatment of Covid-19.

Devil's club essential oil (branch bark) has the potential to treat or pretreat for conditions caused by vaccine injury

Vaccine injuries reported announced by the CDC

"Pretreatment with NRD at different doses (100 and 200 mg/kg b.w) for 21 days prevented the above changes induced by ISO. The 200 mg/kg b.w of NRD was more pronounced than the other dose and brought back all the above parameters near to normalcy."

No medical claims or recommendations are being made here.  This is merely a summary of the data published on government websites as it relates to the devil's club EO primary component nerolidol and potential treatments - and the repeating of requests by numerous researchers for clinical trials.
