SourceResearchers at Oregon State University say that chemical compounds found in hemp can block the virus that causes COVID-19 from entering human cells.
Those findings come from a study published Monday in the Journal of Natural Products, authored by Richard van Breemen, a scientist with Oregon State’s Global Hemp Innovation Center, College of Pharmacy and Linus Pauling Institute.
Van Breeman said that hemp, known by its scientific name as Cannabis sativa, contains a pair of cannabinoid acids that bind to the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein, preventing the virus from infecting people. With the help of his colleagues, van Breeman discovered that two acids, cannabigerolic acid, or CBGA, and cannabidiolic acid, CBDA, target the same spike protein that COVID-19 vaccines and antibody therapy target to prevent and treat the disease.
