In sufficient quantities, the flavor component counteracts the development of immune deficiency.
A compound contained in soy sauce can stop the development of the immunodeficiency virus , also known as HIV, scientists say.
It is the EFdA molecule , which not only carries the rich taste of the liquid spice, but is also very similar to the antiviral drug tenofovir , used against the action of the AIDS virus.
It is already used successfully in the fight against hepatitis B, many viral infections, damage to the liver and others.
The discovery was made by a research team led by Professor of Molecular Biology and Immunology at the University of Missouri Medical Center, Stefan Sarafianos.
In sufficient quantities, the flavor component counteracts the development of immune deficiency.
In addition, EFdA can protect to a small extent against infection with incurable and lethal disease, which makes Asian salty liquid spice extremely important for the future of medicine and humanity.
It has been found that the molecule is also involved in the treatment of hepatitis B and activates the body's defenses in resistance to "unhygienic disease".
"Patients treated for HIV with tenofovir eventually develop resistance to the drug, which interferes with effective protection against the virus," said study leader Stefan Sarafyanos.
The same patients are less likely to become immune to the EFda molecule because it acts faster and is destroyed by the body over a longer period of time.
It is hoped that a drug to treat the HIV virus will be developed based on the two substances in the near future. Japanese producers of soy sauce hope that their product will turn out to be the king of one of the most insidious and deadly diseases today.
