AXA1125 or LIVRQNac is a new drug developed by Axcella Therapeutics which is currently in clinical trials for post-exertional fatigue caused by Long COVID.[1][2] AXA1125 has been described as a "novel composition of amino acids" and a "metabolic modulator" and consists of five amino acids (arginine, glutamine, isoleucine, leucine, and valine) and N-acetylcysteine (NAC).[3]
Theory[edit | edit source]
AXA1125 is a endogenous metabolic modulator, which means it consists of naturally occurring substances that act in a way that modulates energy metabolism.[3] AXA1125 was designed to treat non-alcoholic liver conditions.[3]
Amino acids and precusors[edit | edit source]
AXA1125 consists of a combination of:
- Arginine
- Glutamine
- Isoleucine
- Leucine
- Valine
- N-acetylcysteine (NAC), a precursor to several amino acids[3]
