Description

Application of verteporfin in preparing medicine for resisting novel coronavirus SARS-CoV-2
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of medicines, relates to a novel medicinal application of verteporfin, and in particular relates to an application of verteporfin in preparing a medicine for resisting novel coronavirus SARS-CoV-2.
Background
Novel coronavirus disease (Corona Virus Disease 2019, covd-19), also known as novel coronavirus infection, is a serious acute respiratory infectious disease. The disease has strong infectivity and high mortality rate. The pathogen responsible for the novel coronavirus disease is the novel coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2). SARS-CoV-2 and the known severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus (SARS-CoV), the middle east respiratory syndrome coronavirus (MERS-CoV) are of the genus beta coronavirus belonging to the family Coronaviridae.
Clinical practice shows that the common symptoms of SARS-CoV-2 infection are respiratory tract symptoms, fever, cough, shortness of breath, dyspnea and the like. In more severe cases, the infection can lead to pneumonia, severe acute respiratory syndrome, renal failure, and even death. There is currently no specific treatment for SARS-CoV-2-caused disease. Studies have shown that Ruidexivir and hydroxychloroquine have significant inhibitory effects on SARS-CoV-2 replication in vitro studies. However, clinical studies have found that hydroxychloroquine has no obvious therapeutic effect. While ryposi Wei Zeng has been reported to cure 1 case, in addition, the test results of treating 53 severe patients with ryposi with the same-condition drug show that 68% of severe patients have symptoms relieved after the use of ryposi, but the mortality rate is still 13%, and 60% of patients report side effects. The above studies with adefovir have few cases and there are significant limitations on the data from symptomatic medication.
The research shows that the novel coronavirus can replicate in Vero-E6 cell strain, which leads to obvious cytopathic effect (CPE) such as syncytia, cell shedding and the like, is a universal novel coronavirus cell infection model and is used for separation, culture and pharmacodynamics determination of the novel coronavirus.
Verteporfin, chinese alias: microtipofin, english name: verteporfin. The verteporfin is a second generation porphyrin photosensitizer, can be activated by light (wavelength 689 nm) irradiation, and can be used for photodynamic therapy for treating macular degeneration. Studies show that the medicine can selectively enter into the diseased blood vessel, and active oxygen is generated by non-thermal laser irradiation to occlude the diseased blood vessel, so that leakage of the blood vessel is stopped, and vision is preserved. Verteporfin is suitable for patients with secondary age-related ocular neovascularization, as well as for pathological myopia or ocular histoplasmosis. Heretofore, no report has been made on the use of verteporfin in inhibiting coronavirus, particularly novel coronavirus infection and replication.

Treating cells as in example 1;
After 48 hours, cell supernatants were collected for RNA extraction.
And (3) RNA extraction:
100 mu L of cell supernatant is added into 300 mu L of TRIzol lysate, and the mixture is fully mixed and lysed;
200 mu L of chloroform is added for vigorous shaking, and after standing for 2-3 minutes, the mixture is centrifuged for 15 minutes at 4 ℃ and 12000 g;

RNA reverse transcription cDNA was synthesized in one step using the root FastKing (Tiangen, KR 118). To 20. Mu.L of the reaction system, 4. Mu.L of 5X FastKing-RT Supermix, 20-2. Mu.g of RNA was added, and after 15 minutes at 42℃the reaction was carried out, the reaction was carried out at 95℃for 3 minutes.
Real-time quantitative PCR (qrtPCR);

The amplification primers used are specific primers for SARS-CoV-2N protein gene: an upstream primer: 5'-GGGGAACTTCTCCTGCTAGAAT-3'; a downstream primer: 5'-CAGACATTTTGCTCTCAAGCTG-3'.
The results are shown in FIG. 3, and show that with increasing concentration of the drug of verteporfin, the level of viral RNA in the supernatant of Vero-E6 cells infected with SARS-CoV-2 is significantly reduced, indicating that verteporfin has a significant inhibitory effect on SARS-CoV-2 infection, and its half-effective concentration (EC 50) is 0.028. Mu.M.
