The invention discloses application of
vitamin C, or stereoisomers, geometric isomers, tautomers,
nitrogen oxides, hydrates, solvates, metabolites, pharmaceutically acceptable salts or prodrugs thereof in preparation of drugs for preventing and treating vascular injury caused by microbial infection. The invention discloses a
molecular mechanism that
vitamin C regulates ATP11C expression and inhibits
phosphatidylserine eversion so as to improve an endothelial
barrier function, and provides a new action target for treatment of infection-related endothelial injury;
cell experiments and animal experiments prove that the
vitamin C has remarkable effects in the aspects of improving
endothelial dysfunction caused by infection, reducing
vascular leakage and increasing the
survival rate of infected animals, and has good application prospects and clinical transformation values; the application of the
vitamin C in vascular endothelial injury caused by
staphylococcus aureus,
hantavirus and
dengue virus infection is clearly provided for the first time, and the new medical application of the
vitamin C is expanded.
