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.
