The invention discloses application of
neochlorogenic acid in preparation of a
medicine for preventing and / or treating hand-foot-and-mouth
disease caused by A16 type coxsackie
virus (CVA16) infection, and belongs to the technical field of biological
medicine. Researches prove that the
neochlorogenic acid has the effect of resisting CVA16 infection on HEK293T cells and H4 cells, after the two cells treated by the
neochlorogenic acid are infected by the CVA16, the viral
genome RNA abundance is obviously reduced, and the
cell lesion death condition is obviously relieved; meanwhile, a
cytotoxicity test shows that the neochlorogenic acid has no obvious
cytotoxicity to HEK293T cells and only has weak
cytotoxicity to H4 cells. Therefore, in a reasonable dosage range, the neochlorogenic acid, which is a low-
toxicity natural
small molecule compound, can be used for preparing the anti-CVA16
medicine for preventing and / or treating the hand-foot-and-mouth
disease caused by CVA16 infection.
