Coenzyme A – CoA

The attenuations are prepared from Coenzyme A C₂₁H₃₆N₇O₁₆P₃S, MW: 767.6.

Coenzyme A contains pantothenic acid, a substance belonging to the group of B- Vitamins, also a sulphurous amine, cysteamine (2-aminoethanethiol, H₂N CH₂ CH₂

SH), ribose-3’-phosphate and adenine. It is an indispensible co-factor in numerous syntheses and important reactions in the intermediate metabolic process. For exam- ple, coenzyme A activates acetic acid on entering the Citric Acid cycle. Fatty acids are only capable of reaction in the form of their coenzyme A compound. In order to render the free acetic acid capable of reaction, it must be transferred to the coen- zyme A compound through an expenditure of energy, for which ATP (Adenosine- Triphosphate) is needed. Apart from this, the formation of activated acetic acid can also take place directly in the course of the oxidative breakdown of pyruvic acid and the fatty acid, the separation of the acetyl residue taking place by means of a take-up of coenzyme A, the process of fission itself providing the energy for the formation of the acetyl mercaptan. The acetyl transfer via coenzyme A, as a basic reaction of the intermediate metabolic process, plays an important part in many synthetic reactions, as in the formation of acetylcholine from choline and acetate, which synthesis de- pends on ATP. Acetic acid is an important building block of all possible syntheses, and is made capable of reaction by combination with coenzyme A. Thus activated acetic acid, to a certain extent, represents a coenzyme A which has been acetylised to the SH group.

Thus Coenzyme A can be used in various phases to stimulate enzyme activity, es- pecially in cellular phases with enzyme damage (iatrogenic pathology), e.g. in asth- ma, liver damage, damage to the myocardium, and in all degenerative diseases, par- ticularly in combination with suitable biotherapeutic and anti-homotoxic remedies.

A proving of this substance was conducted in the winter of 1995 by Dr. David Riley, Santa Fe, USA.

Congruent symptoms with Dr. Reckeweg:

• chest pain

The most important symptoms from David Riley’s drug proving were:

Essential Characteristics
