The invention relates to application of
asparagine in preparation of antiviral infection drugs and / or
immunodeficiency disease treatment drugs, and belongs to the technical field of biological medicines. It is found for the first time that
asparagine can induce activation of TBK1 and improve the expression quantity of I-type
interferon of an
organism under the
virus infection condition, so that when the
organism is subjected to
virus infection, a host defense mechanism is rapidly responded, the
immunity is improved, and then the broad-spectrum
virus infection resisting effect is achieved. Meanwhile, the invention discloses new application of
asparagine as the TBK1
agonist, and asparagine can be used for preparing antiviral infection drugs, drugs for treating
immunodeficiency diseases and products for improving
immunity. The asparagine belongs to a non-
essential amino acid of a
human body, has the characteristics of being green, safe, environment-friendly and the like, and is applied to products such as medicines, health-care products or foods as a functional additive.
