Hydrogen Peroxide Kill Hep C
On whether hydrogen peroxide can kill hepatitis C virus
There is doubt in the world. If hydrogen peroxide is used, can it kill hepatitis C virus? To understand this, we should study the properties of hydrogen peroxide and the quality of hepatitis C virus.
Hydrogen peroxide is a strong oxidizing substance. In chemical reactions, it can often seize electrons from other objects and change the state of things. In the field of disinfection and sterilization, with this strong oxidizing property, it can break the structure of microorganisms, destroy their proteins and nucleic acids, and inactivate microorganisms, thus achieving the effect of disinfection and sterilization.
And hepatitis C virus is a RNA virus. Its outer protein capsid contains RNA. This structure allows the virus to parasitize and replicate in the host body, causing liver diseases.
However, considering experiments and studies, although the strong oxidation of hydrogen peroxide can break many microbial structures, the situation is different from that of hepatitis C virus. The structure and characteristics of hepatitis C virus make it resistant to the disinfection and sterilization of hydrogen peroxide.
Many studies have shown that hydrogen peroxide alone is difficult to inactivate hepatitis C virus. Because the virus hides in the host cell, or because of the protection of the protein capsid, hydrogen peroxide cannot reach its nucleic acid and destroy its ability to replicate.
To be sure, as far as we know, it is not easy for hydrogen peroxide to kill hepatitis C virus. In order to control the transmission and pathogenesis of hepatitis C virus, other methods or comprehensive treatment should be sought, not only hydrogen peroxide.
