Description

Use of inactivated BCG for preventing or treating a new coronavirus related condition
Technical Field
The present invention relates to a novel use of bcg, in particular to the use of inactivated bcg for the prevention or treatment of a novel coronavirus related condition.
Background
The new coronavirus (new coronavirus, or SARS-CoV-2) has become a major threat to human health and economic development. Currently, the best means to prevent the spread of the virus is forced segregation, with no other means of prevention. Vaccines are the most likely effective prophylactic means, but successful vaccine development may take at least half a year or even more than 2 years to a three or four clinical trial. Coping with this dangerous epidemic may require a multi-tiered approach, and even a short-term unconventional approach to intervening 2019-nCoV epidemics is necessary.
BCG (BCG) is an inactivated vaccine against mycobacterium bovis, which has been used to treat recurrent respiratory virus infections and lung cancer in children as early as the 70 s and has achieved clinically significant efficacy. The current mouse model research shows that the BCG vaccine has obvious protective effect on preventing the infection of various respiratory viruses by inducing nonspecific (or xenogenic) immunity. However, there is no study and report on whether BCG is effective in preventing and treating the infection caused by the new coronavirus which is currently prevalent.
Disclosure of Invention
The inventor's earlier research shows that the use of heterologous immunity can prevent SARS virus, and the attenuated Japanese encephalitis virus immunity has protective effect on Zika virus infection, which also indicates that the innate immune response may have protective effect on heterologous virus infection. Based on this finding, the inventors screened potential drugs effective against the infection with the new coronavirus using a large number of known vaccines, and found that inactivated bcg had a good preventive effect against the current infection with the new coronavirus. Based on this, the inventors further propose a regimen for enhancing the prophylactic effect by local administration to the respiratory tract. Specifically, the present invention includes the following.
In one aspect of the invention there is provided the use of an inactivated bcg in the manufacture of a medicament for local administration to the respiratory tract for the prevention or treatment of a new coronavirus related condition.
According to the use of the present invention, preferably, the medicament is an immunopotentiator comprising 0.2 to 2 parts by weight of inactivated bcg, 0 to 100 parts by weight of a bioadhesive and 0 to 10 parts by weight of a flavoring agent. The amount of inactivated BCG is preferably 0.5-1.5 parts by weight, more preferably 1.0-1.5 parts by weight. The amount of the bioadhesive is preferably 0.5 to 8 parts by weight, more preferably 1 to 5 parts by weight. The amount of the flavoring agent is preferably 1 to 8 parts by weight, more preferably 2 to 5 parts by weight.
According to the use of the present invention, preferably, the medicament is a suspension comprising 0.2-2g/L of inactivated BCG, 0-100g/L of bioadhesive, 0-100g and 0-10g/L of flavoring agent. The concentration of inactivated BCG is preferably 0.5-1.5g/L, more preferably 1.0-1.4 g/L. The amount of bioadhesive is preferably from 0 to 50 g/L, more preferably from 0 to 20 g/L. The amount of flavoring agent is preferably 0 to 5g/L, more preferably 1 to 3 g/L.
According to the use of the present invention, preferably, the medicament is a suspension prepared by adding 0.2-2g of inactivated BCG, 0-100g of bioadhesive, 0-100g of flavoring agent per liter of physiological saline and mixing them well.
According to the use of the present invention, preferably, the respiratory topical administration is a spray administration.
According to the use of the present invention, preferably, the administration site of the drug is oral and/or nasal mucosa.
According to the use of the present invention, preferably, the novel coronavirus related condition comprises:
(1) replication, propagation or spread of the new coronavirus infection in vivo;
(2) cough, fever, inflammation, dyspnea and loss of appetite caused by the new coronavirus.
According to the use of the present invention, preferably, the prevention or treatment comprises:
(1') an increase or enhancement of immunity to said novel coronaviruses in vivo;
(2') the activity of the novel coronavirus in vivo is reduced or disappeared;
(3') the symptoms of cough, fever, inflammation, dyspnea and decreased appetite caused by the new coronavirus are reduced, alleviated or eliminated.
In another aspect of the present invention, there is provided a method for inhibiting the activity of a novel coronavirus in a cell, comprising the step of contacting a drug containing an inactivated BCG with a cell containing a novel coronavirus, or introducing the same into the interior of the cell.
According to the method of the invention, preferably, the cell is an in vitro cell.
The invention provides a new application of an old vaccine in prevention and treatment of new coronary pneumonia. Research shows that the BCG vaccine is a safe immunopotentiator besides preventing tubercle bacillus infection, has a wide protection effect on respiratory tract infection caused by new coronavirus, and can protect organisms from being infected by the respiratory tract virus. The research and development of new application of the old vaccine are particularly suitable for the severe situation of the prevention and the treatment of the new coronavirus at present. First, traditional vaccine development requires at least half a year to about 3 years, and whether it is safe, effective, and sufficient in yield is an unknown problem. The inactivated BCG vaccine is a commonly used vaccine and can be used in a large amount in clinical in second or even third or fourth stage in time. And secondly, the BCG production technology is mature, the yield is high, the use dosage of the BCG can be further reduced to one of 1/10 of the original inoculation dosage by utilizing a respiratory administration mode, namely, the yield can sufficiently meet the global requirement, and is greatly superior to the yield of the existing vaccine. In addition, the spraying method of the inactivated BCG vaccine is safe, and the local immunity of the respiratory tract can be improved through a direct administration way of the respiratory tract, so that the local antiviral effectiveness of the respiratory tract can be greatly improved.
The inactivated BCG vaccine spray can also be used for preventing various respiratory virus infections including coronavirus, influenza virus and the like, reducing fever outpatient service caused by the viruses, and reducing the national cost for screening patients, diagnosis and treatment and suspected coronavirus infection, thereby reducing the economic burden on the country and individuals and having great social and economic benefits.
The immunity increasing spray directly acts the inactivated BCG vaccine on the immune system of oral and nasal mucosa in a spray form, and has the effects of prevention and treatment. The medicine can be administered by infected people and risk exposure people without doctors, and is convenient to carry and use.

Examples
Firstly, mouse experiment:
survival of mice infected with coronavirus was analyzed by inoculating bcg to the mice, and the results are shown in fig. 1. As can be seen from FIG. 1, the survival rate of mice administered BCG was greatly improved.
In addition, experiments of BCG on tumor growth in mice were also performed. The results are shown in FIG. 2. As shown in FIG. 2, the direct intratumoral injection of BCG into tumor-bearing mice can enhance the anti-tumor immunity of the mice and inhibit the growth of tumors.
