The invention belongs to the technical field of biological medicine, and particularly relates to application of anethomycin in preparation of medicine for inhibiting cysteine protease activity. The invention discovers that anethomycin has the function of inhibiting the activity of virus cysteine protease, especially 3C or 3CL protease, for the first time. Molecular docking proves that anethomycin can effectively bind to the catalytic activity center of Senecavirus (SVA) 3C protease. An in-vitro FRET enzyme activity experiment proves that the inhibition rate of 50 [mu] M of anethomycin on SVA 3C protease reaches up to 88.5%. Cellular level experiments show that the anethomycin can significantly inhibit replication of SVA viruses, shows broad-spectrum antiviral activity on various viruses such as encephalomyocarditis viruses (EMCV), porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome viruses (PRRSV) and porcine deltacoronaviruses (PDCoV), and is low in cytotoxicity and high in selectivity index (SI).

The invention discloses a method for improving the solubility and thermal stability of sweet protein, and belongs to the technical field of biosynthesis, the method comprises the following steps: constructing a gene tandem recombinant plasmid containing a monellin x-3C-sfGFP-3C-monellin y expression cassette, x is greater than or equal to 1, y is greater than or equal to 1, 5 is greater than or equal to x + y is greater than or equal to 3, a 3C protease recognition sequence is also inserted between adjacent copies of monellin, and each monellin is connected with a purification tag; the gene tandem recombinant plasmid is transformed into escherichia coli and inducible expression is carried out, thalli are split and purified to obtain fusion protein, 3C protease is used for enzyme digestion, and the target protein is obtained after re-purification. The total protein yield and the solubility proportion are remarkably improved by adopting a series construction mode of plasmids, meanwhile, the stability of monellin is effectively improved, the purification step is simpler and more convenient, and the method is suitable for industrial production.

Vaccine compositions for protecting a subject against diseases caused by viral pathogens of the Picornaviridae family are disclosed. These vaccines comprise nucleic acids encoding the capsid polyprotein (P1 polyprotein) mixed with the viral 3C protease that processes the P1 polyprotein, and encapsulated within nanoparticle carriers. Methods of preventing, reducing, inhibiting, or delaying the symptoms of an infection caused by a viral pathogen, or of inducing an immune response against a viral pathogen in a subject are provided. Methods of making the vaccines are also described.

Compounds and treatment methods with dipeptidyl compounds exhibiting antiviral activity and / or inhibition of viral replication against viruses by inhibiting 3CL protease, particularly those belonging to picornavirus, the compounds having a formula:(I) or (I)*.
