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: 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.
