This invention relates to the application of
asparagine in the preparation of antiviral drugs and / or drugs for treating
immunodeficiency diseases, belonging to the field of
biomedical technology. This invention is the first to discover that
asparagine can induce TBK1 activation, increasing the expression of type I
interferon in the body under
viral infection conditions, enabling the body to rapidly respond to host defense mechanisms and enhance
immunity when subjected to
viral infection, thereby achieving a broad-spectrum antiviral effect. It also discloses a new use of
asparagine as a TBK1
agonist, which can be used in the preparation of antiviral drugs, drugs for treating
immunodeficiency diseases, and products for enhancing
immunity. Furthermore, asparagine is a non-
essential amino acid for the
human body, possessing characteristics such as being green, safe, and
environmentally friendly; it can be used as a functional additive in pharmaceuticals, health products, or
food products.
