Cepharanthine---Chinese Scientists' Latest Discovery Can Inhibit The New Coronavirus By 15,393 Times

Cepharanthine---Chinese scientists' latest discovery can inhibit the new coronavirus by 15,393 times

On May 10, 2022, Chinese scientists discovered that a new drug for the treatment of the new coronavirus was authorized by the national invention patent. The patent specification shows that 10uM (micromol/liter) of fenugreek can inhibit the replication of the new coronavirus by 15,393 times. The efficacy has been officially confirmed, which is significantly better than the approved antiviral drugs Remdesivir and Paloviride.

A Chinese team of scientists first discovered the anti-new coronavirus activity of cepharanthine:

Professor Tong Yigang, Dean of the School of Life Science and Technology, Beijing University of Chemical Technology, the inventor of the patent, explained: If there are 15,393 viruses, the virus can be quickly killed by using 10 micromol/L Cepharanthine, and the virus can be quickly reduced to 1 A virus, in short, a small amount of Cepharanthine can completely prevent the amplification and spread of the new coronavirus.

Tong Yigang said that from the current research data, the drug's ability to inhibit the new coronavirus ranks high among all the new coronavirus inhibitors discovered by humans. "With the support of the major national special projects, the drug Qianjintiansu was incorporated into the compound library of our research group very early along with thousands of drugs." Tong Yigang said, "When the new coronavirus first appeared, our task was It is the fastest way to find the most promising of these drugs, that is, the most effective for inhibiting the new coronavirus."

Since January 2020, Tong Yigang's team has used a unique drug screening platform to screen thousands of drugs. In February 2020, the team first discovered that cepharanthine has super anti-coronavirus activity.

At the same time, Tong Yigang further cooperated with Professor Zhao Jincun and Professor Shi Zhengli's team of academician Zhong Nanshan to verify the anti-new crown virus effect of the new crown virus and confirmed the anti-new crown virus effect of the drug.

The main manufacturing materials are traditional Chinese medicine raw materials ---- not root powder

The main raw material of Cepharanthine is Dibuchi root powder, which is a leukocyte proliferation drug, which can promote the growth of bone tissue, increase the content of white blood cells, and achieve the effect of resisting viruses. It is currently the strongest raw material drug against the new coronavirus.
