AB Sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl) is widely used to inactivate retroviruses
topically and on environmental surfaces. This proposal establishes the
thesis that sodium hypochlorite and its related oxygen free radicals can
be administered in minute quantities in vivo to achieve a reduction in
retroviral titer within the infected individual. Published reports of
animal studies and accidental sodium hypochlorite infusion in much
greater concentrations have indicated that the protein depletion and
oxidation of sulfhydryl compounds is reversible and possibly preventable
by administration of disulfide reducing agents. Various methods of
infusion can include the ex vivo retroviral inactivation of plasma
utilizing extracorporeal circulation through a continuous centrifugal
plasma separator. The utilization of infusion of low-concentration
sodium hypochlorite dialysate for retroviral inactivation merits
immediate experimental study. Chlorinated tap-water and table salt
ingestion must also be among the environmental factors studied for
correlation to HIV infection.
