Envelope Protein

Fatty Acids

"Antiviral fatty acids were found to affect the viral envelope, causing leakage and at higher concentrations, a complete disintegration of the envelope and the viral particles"
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC174645/

Monolaurin

"Monolaurin disintegrates the protective viral envelope, killing the virus"
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monolaurin

Membrane Protein

"Monolaurin is known to inactivate lipid-coated viruses by binding to the lipid-protein envelope of the virus, thereby preventing it from attaching and entering host cells, making infection and replication impossible"
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monolaurin

Spike Protien

Copper

"deliver toxic copper to the virus’s spike proteins, it could be rendered inoperable."
https://research.arizona.edu/stories/could-copper-disable-virus-behind-covid-19

"copper dents the crown-shaped virus"
https://www.cleveland.com/news/2020/03/why-copper-could-help-prevent-future-pandemic-and-what-it-does-to-coronavirus.html

RNA

Copper

"The copper doesn’t just kill these pathogens; it destroys them, right down to the nucleic acids, or reproductive blueprints, inside."
https://www.msn.com/en-us/health/medical/copper-kills-coronavirus-why-arent-our-surfaces-covered-in-it/ar-BB11fIph

"Those copper ions blast through the outer membranes and destroy the whole cell, including the DNA or RNA inside. Because their DNA and RNA are destroyed, it also means a bacteria or virus can’t mutate and become resistant to the copper, or pass on genes (like for antibiotic resistance) to other microbes."

Zinc + Ionophore

"Increasing the intracellular Zn(2+) concentration with zinc-ionophores like pyrithione (PT) can efficiently impair the replication of a variety of RNA viruses, including poliovirus and influenza virus"
https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/21079686/

Lipid Membrane

"Together, monolaurin and lauric acid have the physicochemical property of being able to destroy the membrane of lipid-coated viruses."
https://www.ift.org/iftnext/2020/april/researchers-think-coconut-oil-may-help-treat-covid-19-patients

"monolaurin can be so helpful to so many virus-based health problems, including colds and flus. It actually can make the fatty envelope of a pathogenic organism like a virus soluble, thereby disintegrating its outer membrane and ultimately killing off the virus and preventing replication."

Synergy

"The interaction of two or more agents or forces so that their combined effect is greater than the sum of their individual effects."
https://www.thefreedictionary.com/synergy
