The application discloses application of a small-molecule
drug azelastine in preparation of a
medicine for treating sporotrichosis. The application takes abaA
gene as a target for finding a new
drug, performs batch molecular docking on a small-molecule
database which has been approved by FDA and marketed, and screens out
azelastine. The
azelastine can inhibit Sporothrix globosa and Sporothrix schenckii, can also inhibit
phase conversion of the Sporothrix globosa and the Sporothrix schenckii, and has a certain
therapeutic effect on sporotrichosis, and is extremely likely to become a promising new
drug for treating sporotrichosis. In the
research process, it is also found that the small-molecule drug azelastine can have a broad-spectrum bacteriostatic effect. Since the drug is approved for marketing for treating other symptoms, compared with a new compound, a large amount of time and money cost for analyzing
pharmacokinetics and
pharmacology and
toxicology is saved, and the azelastine has great potential as a new drug for treating sporotrichosis.
