Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of medicine, and particularly relates to an application of a Fuzheng Jiedu recipe in preparing a drug for resisting porcine epidemic diarrhea virus infection. Background Art

[0002] Porcine epidemic diarrhea is an acute intestinal infectious disease of pigs caused by porcine epidemic diarrhea virus (PEDV), with diarrhea, vomiting, and dehydration as typical symptoms. Pigs of all ages are susceptible to infection, but piglets under two weeks of age are most seriously affected. PEDV is an enveloped, single-stranded, positive-sense RNA virus with a genome size of approximately 28kb. It encodes four structural proteins and four non-structural proteins. The structural proteins include spike protein (S), envelope protein (E), membrane protein (M), and capsid protein (N), while the non-structural proteins include 1a, 1b, 3a, and 3b. PEDV is mainly transmitted through the mouth and nose. Other scholars have confirmed that contaminated feed can also transmit PEDV. In addition, studies have found that PEDV can also be transmitted in the form of aerosols. The diversity of PEDV transmission routes has brought certain difficulties to the prevention and control of epidemic diarrhea. PEDV, which enters the intestines through the mouth and nose, can proliferate within intestinal epithelial cells, causing swelling, degeneration, and disintegration. This leads to atrophy and loss of intestinal villi, decreased intestinal enzyme activity, impaired absorption, and increased intestinal osmotic pressure, causing osmotic diarrhea. Due to their poor stress tolerance and tolerance, piglets experience slow intestinal villi renewal, resulting in a much higher mortality rate than medium and larger pigs.

[0003] In pig farms where diarrhea occurs, vaccinating piglets or newborns with diarrheal vaccines containing the PEDV GII genotype has little control effect. Suckling piglets under 7 days of age are most susceptible to infection, with a mortality rate as high as 100%. Theoretically, it takes at least 7 to 10 days for piglets to develop immunity through vaccination. Currently, protecting suckling piglets through maternal antibodies (protection) in breast milk is the only effective way to control PEDV in piglets.

[0004] Drug prevention and control has been a new area of research in recent years. Currently, the main prevention and control drugs include a series of biopharmaceuticals such as monoclonal antibodies, immune sera, and egg yolk antibodies. Although these biopharmaceuticals have shown promising results, their instability and high cost have prevented them from being commercialized. Therefore, the development of effective and stable antiviral drugs is of paramount importance, and the development of safe, effective, and broad-spectrum antiviral drugs is of great significance.

[0005] Academician Liu Liang and his team developed a traditional Chinese medicine formula for strengthening the body and detoxifying the body based on the common symptoms of patients infected with the Delta strain. It consists of the following eight herbs: 10g of Radix Aconiti Lateralis Preparata, 15g of dried ginger, 20g of roasted licorice root, 10g of honeysuckle flower, 10g of thorny Chinese honeysuckle, 20g of quinquefolia, 10g of patchouli, and 5g of dried tangerine peel, totaling 100g. The granules are prepared by adding eight times the weight of water to the above formula and decocting the mixture three times for one hour each time. The decoction is filtered, the filtrates are combined, and concentrated under reduced pressure at 80°C (vacuum pressure of -0.090 to -0.1 MPa) to produce an extract (each gram of extract is equivalent to approximately 2g of the slices). Stevia (0.5% by mass) and lactose-dextrin (2:1 by mass) are then added. Granulation is then performed in a single step to produce 1000g of granules, which are then packaged separately. At present, the Fu Zheng Jie Du Fang granules have shown good therapeutic effects on 274 patients infected with the Delta variant of the new coronavirus in clinical practice, indicating that this prescription has the effect of blocking patients from turning into severe high-risk / warning groups in the treatment of new coronavirus infections, promoting the absorption of lung inflammation, and shortening the time for nucleic acid to turn negative.
