Abstract: The use of lysozyme or combinations comprising the lysozyme in preparing a medicament for preventing or treating the novel coronavirus pneumonia COVID-19 and in preparing a food for assisting in preventing or treating the novel coronavirus pneumonia COVID-19 is disclosed. The lysozyme or the combination of the lysozyme, as provided by the present invention, can effectively inhibit cell damage caused by the novel coronavirus, inhibit the inflammatory factors expression induced by the novel coronavirus, ameliorate airway obstruction and decreased expiratory volume caused by lung lesions, and ameliorate intestinal barrier dysfunction. The lysozyme or the combination of the lysozyme has good effects on patients with high viral load, respiratory distress, impaired intestinal function, etc., and can reduce the novel coronavirus infection rate and the incidence rate of severe novel coronavirus pneumonia.

Abstract: In one aspect, a coronavirus is treated by administering a pharmaceutical composition containing a therapeutically effective amount of isomyosmine or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof. In another aspect, oxidative stress is reduced in an individual suffering from a coronavirus by administering a pharmaceutical composition containing a therapeutically effective amount of isomyosmine or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof. In another aspect, mitochondrial reactive oxygen species (mtROS) are inhibited in an individual suffering from a coronavirus by administering a pharmaceutical composition containing a therapeutically effective amount of isomyosmine or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof. In one example, the coronavirus is Covid-19.

Abstract: Hypoxemia is an abnormally low O2 concentration in the blood. It can be lethal. When vital organs don't get enough O2 to operate properly. A coronavirus infection can cause hypoxemia. Wherein this is probably the most common cause of coronavirus associated death. COVID-19 has killed millions of people to date. A method comprising the administration of a therapeutically effective amount of almitrine dimesylate to a subject with a coronavirus infection. To treat/ameliorate/reduce/prevent any coronavirus associated hypoxemia in the subject. Therein increasing the subject's chance of survival.
Abstract: The present invention provides methods of preventing or treating coronavirus infection and reducing coronavirus infection rate in vitro with antiviral composition comprising poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene):poly(styrene sulfonate) (PEDOT:PSS), wherein the PEDOT:PSS is selected from PEDOT:PSS aqueous solutions in various formulas. Specifically, the molar ratio of PEDOT to PSS in the PEDOT:PSS aqueous solution in the antiviral composition may be 1:1.5 to 1:6 and the resistivity of the PEDOT:PSS aqueous solution in the antiviral composition may be 100 ?/sq to 5×107 ?/sq. The antiviral composition is used to inhibit the binding between the spike protein of the coronavirus and the host cells with angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) on surface. The coronavirus may be SARS-CoV-2.
Abstract: Provided is an orally administrable vaccine against a coronavirus infectious disease. A transformed Bifidobacterium designed to display a part or a whole of a constituent protein of a coronavirus on a surface of the Bifidobacterium enables the provision of the orally administrable vaccine against a coronavirus infectious disease. The transformed Bifidobacterium designed to display a part or a whole of a constituent protein of a coronavirus on a surface of the Bifidobacterium can induce humoral immunity and cellular immunity through oral administration to suppress an increase in severity of pneumonia or the like even after viral infection.
