35 results about "Interferon alfa" patented technology

Interferon alfa (INN) or HuIFN-alpha-Le, trade name Multiferon, is a pharmaceutical drug composed of natural interferon alpha (IFN-α) obtained from the leukocyte fraction of human blood following induction with Sendai virus. Interferon alfa contains several naturally occurring IFN-α subtypes and is purified by affinity chromatography. Although the pharmaceutical product is often simply called "interferon alpha" or "IFN-α" like its endogenous counterpart, the product's International nonproprietary name (INN) is interferon alfa (the spelling of 'alfa' with 'f' reflects INN naming conventions).

Application of interferon alpha combined with stiripentanol in virus infection resistance

The invention relates to the technical field of medicines, and particularly discloses application of interferon alpha combined with stiripentanol in virus infection resistance. As an antiviral drug, interferon alpha has the problems of limited curative effect, remarkable side effect, narrow applicable crowd, inconvenience in medication and the like clinically. The invention finds that the accumulation of host lactic acid in the later stage of virus infection is a key negative factor, and lactic acid directly inhibits the antiviral activity of interferon alpha and induces inflammatory storm. Through combined use of a lactic dehydrogenase inhibitor stiripentol (Stiripentol, STP), lactic acid production is reduced, a lactic acid-mediated antiviral inhibition-inflammation promotion effect is reversed, and the antiviral activity of interferon alpha is enhanced and side effects are reduced. Experiments prove that the combined therapy can effectively inhibit virus replication and inflammatory factor expression, and a new strategy is provided for broad-spectrum antiviral therapy.

Application of type I interferon signaling pathway inhibitors in the preparation of drugs for treating age-related cataracts

PendingCN122351479ASide effectEfficacy
This invention provides an application of type I interferon signaling pathway inhibitors in the preparation of drugs for treating age-related cataracts. By inhibiting type I interferon receptors, it can precisely intervene in the aging mechanism of lens epithelial cells, block the transmission of aging signals, and directly improve lens transparency, exhibiting higher therapeutic efficacy and targeting. The use of IFNAR inhibitors can effectively reverse the aging phenotype caused by STEAP3 deficiency, restore the proliferative capacity of lens epithelial cells, thereby maintaining lens transparency, significantly reducing surgical risks, and providing patients with an early intervention opportunity, delaying the onset and progression of cataracts. IFNAR inhibitors, through precise intervention in specific signaling pathways, have more significant therapeutic effects, and due to their targeting, have fewer side effects and are safer. They can not only improve existing cataracts but also play a preventive and delaying role in the early stages of cataracts. For patients with mild cataracts, the use of type I interferon receptor inhibitors can avoid premature surgical treatment, reducing patient dependence on surgery and also reducing the costs and risks associated with surgery.

Antiviral combination drug of ifn-alpha combined with bortezomib (bortezomib) and application

This invention relates to the field of biomedicine, specifically to the combined application of interferon-alpha (IFN-α) and NF-κB signaling pathway inhibitors, particularly the application of interferon-alpha combined with bortezomib in the preparation of drugs for the prevention and / or treatment of viral infections. Host-produced lactate is a key microenvironmental factor driving the shift of IFN-α from "anti-inflammatory" to "pro-inflammatory." Lactic acid, in conjunction with IFN-α, excessively activates the NF-κB signaling pathway, thereby triggering a cytokine storm. Based on this novel mechanism, this invention creatively proposes the combined use of IFN-α and bortezomib. This combination effectively blocks lactate / IFN-α-induced NF-κB overactivation, retaining the potent antiviral activity of IFN-α while completely reversing its side effect of exacerbating inflammation in the later stages of viral infection, achieving a dual effect of "antiviral" and "inflammatory control."

Pharmaceutical composition based on IRF7-PTEN signal axis and application thereof in spinal cord injury

The invention relates to the technical field of medicines, and particularly discloses a pharmaceutical composition based on an IRF7-PTEN signal axis and application of the pharmaceutical composition in spinal cord injury. According to the application, a plurality of spinal cord injury single cell sequencing data sets are integrated, and the interferon regulatory factor 7, namely IRF7, is screened and verified to be a key hub gene for regulating and controlling apoptosis of astrocytes. Knock-down IRF7 significantly inhibits astrocyte apoptosis induced by etoposide, and rotation IRF7 can reverse the effect. In mechanism, the IRF7 promotes cell apoptosis by negatively regulating a PTEN pathway, and the PTEN inhibitor SF1670 can block the IRF7 overexpression mediated apoptosis promoting effect. On the basis, the invention provides a pharmaceutical composition taking the signal axis as a target spot, and the active ingredient of the pharmaceutical composition can be an IRF7 inhibitor or a PTEN inhibitor; the invention also discloses application of the inhibitor in preparation of drugs for treating spinal cord injury.
