ウィルス感染症予防剤 技術分野  Virus Infectious Disease Prevention Agent Technical Field

本発明は、 ウィルス感染症の予防剤または予防方法に関する。 背景技術  The present invention relates to a prophylactic agent or a method for preventing viral infection. Background art

ウィルス感染症は肝炎や HIVを原因とする AIDSなどをはじめとし、多数知ら れている。 そのうち、 イ ンフノレエンザゥイノレス、 ライノウイノレス、 コロナウイノレ ス、 パラインフルエンザウイルス、 RS ウィルス、 アデノ ウイルス、 レオウィル スなどの呼吸器感染性ウィルスは鼻腔から咽頭、 気管、 気管支、 肺の上皮系細胞 で増殖し、 かぜ症状を呈する日常で多くみられる疾患の原因ウィルスである。 多 くは軽い鼻炎や咽頭炎などの症状で回復するが、 肺炎などの重篤な合併症を併発 し死の帰転に至る場合もあり、 注意を要する疾患である。 ス ト レスなどによって 免疫力が低下し生体側が感染を防御しきれなくなった時、 症状として現われる。 現状における治療方法は対症療法が一般的で、 ァセトアミノフェン等の解熱鎮痛 薬、 マレイン酸クロルフエ二ラミン等アレルギー症状を抑える薬剤、 塩酸メチル ェフエドリン等の鎮咳薬等が配合された感冒薬などを非処方箋薬として服用する 場合が多い。 また、 症状が比較的重くなりだした際、 病院にて医師から上記感冒 薬や細菌の二次感染の併発に対処した抗菌剤の服用ゃビタミン剤の摂取が行われ ているのが現状である。  Many viral infections are known, including AIDS caused by hepatitis and HIV. Of these, respiratory infectious viruses such as Innoleenzae innores, Rhinowinores, Coronawinores, Parainfluenza virus, RS virus, Adenovirus, and Leovirus are found in epithelial cells of the nasal cavity, pharynx, trachea, bronchi, and lungs. It is a virus that causes the disease that is commonly seen in daily life and proliferates and presents cold symptoms. The disease often recovers with mild symptoms such as rhinitis and pharyngitis, but may be accompanied by serious complications such as pneumonia, which may lead to death. It manifests as a symptom when the immunity is reduced due to stress or the like and the living body cannot protect the infection. At present, symptomatic treatment is generally used, including antipyretic analgesics such as acetaminophen, drugs for suppressing allergic symptoms such as chlorpheniramine maleate, and cold medicines containing antitussives such as methylefedrine hydrochloride. It is often taken as a non-prescription drug. In addition, when symptoms become relatively severe, doctors take antimicrobial drugs and take vitamins to cope with the concurrent occurrence of the above common cold medicine and secondary bacterial infection at hospitals. .

一方、 予防的な処方としてはこれら原因ウィルスのうち最も重要なインフルェ ンザに対する不活化ワクチンの予防接種が流行期前に用いられる。 ィンフルェン ザウィルスはその表面抗原の違いにより多くの株が存在し、 しかも抗原変異を起 こし易いことから、ワクチン株と流行株との抗原構造の一致が重要な問題となり、 予測により接種したワクチンと異なった株が流行した場合には有効性が発揮でき ない。 また、 呼吸器感染性ウィルスは前述のように多くの種類が知られており、 しかもそれぞれのウィルスごとに多くの亜型が存在する為、 ウィルスのタイプに 選択的な予防法ではあたり外れがあり流行のウィルス型 (亜型) が的中しない場 合もある。 On the other hand, as a preventive prescription, vaccination with an inactivated vaccine against influenza, the most important of these causative viruses, is used before the epidemic. Influenza virus has many strains due to differences in its surface antigens, and is liable to cause antigenic variation.Therefore, it is important to match the antigen structure between vaccine strains and epidemic strains. Effectiveness cannot be demonstrated if different strains become prevalent. Also, as described above, many types of respiratory infectious viruses are known, and since there are many subtypes for each virus, there is a possibility that the virus type will be out of place with selective prevention methods. Where the epidemic virus type (subtype) does not hit In some cases.

また、 呼吸器感染性ウィルス感染症の予防法としてョゥ素製剤によるうがい液 が用いられているが、 特有の苦味を有するという欠点がある。 また、 抗インフル ェンザウィルス A型作用を有するァマンタジンあるいはリマンタジンが米国で感 染予防の目的で用いられているが (MMWR,44,RR-3,1995)、 耐性株出現の危険性 の問題、あるいは副作用出現の可能性など一般的な普及という点では制約も多い。 このように現状では呼吸器感染性ウィルス感染症に対する予防法は必ずしも十 分で無く、 解決すべき問題点を残している。 一方、 PCT/US98/00380においてグル タチオン、 ダルタチオンジスルフィ ド、 ァスコルビン酸、 N—ァセチルシスティ ンが細胞培養による感染抑制効果を有することが報告されているが、 その in vivo における効果は不明である。 また、 ビタミン Eの老齢マウスにおけるインフルェ ンザウィルスの感染抑制効果が報告されているが、 6週間以上の極めて長期摂取 が必要である。 また、 セレノシスチンがマウスにおいてインフルエンザウイルス 感染抑制効果を有することが報告されている (Ho et al、 Antimicrobial Agents and Chemotherapy, 1967年)。 発明の開示  Mouthwash with an iodine preparation has been used as a method of preventing respiratory tract virus infection, but has the disadvantage of having a characteristic bitter taste. Amantadine or rimantadine, which has an anti-influenza virus A activity, is used in the United States for the purpose of preventing infection (MMWR, 44, RR-3, 1995), but the risk of emergence of resistant strains or side effects There are many restrictions in terms of general dissemination such as the possibility of appearance. Thus, at present, there are not enough preventive measures against respiratory tract virus infections, leaving problems to be solved. On the other hand, PCT / US98 / 00380 reports that glutathione, daltathione disulfide, ascorbic acid, and N-acetylcystin have an infection-suppressing effect by cell culture, but their in vivo effects are unknown. . In addition, it has been reported that vitamin E suppresses infection of influenza virus in aged mice, but requires an extremely long-term intake of 6 weeks or more. It has also been reported that selenocystin has an inhibitory effect on influenza virus infection in mice (Ho et al, Antimicrobial Agents and Chemotherapy, 1967). Disclosure of the invention

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION

以下、 実施例を挙げて本発明を具体的に説明し、 その有効性を示す。  Hereinafter, the present invention will be described specifically with reference to examples, and its effectiveness will be described.

<実施例 > <Example>

成長期にある 6週齢の BALB/c雌性マウスをタンパク質源としてカゼィンを 2 0 %含む飼料 (基本食) で 1週間飼育後、 同飼料に L—シスチンを 0 . 5 %添カロ した飼料に切り換え更に 2週間飼育した。 また基本食のまま継続して飼育したも のを対照群とした。 各群とも 1 0匹を試験に用いた。 次いで 1 0 5 PFUのインフ ルェンザウィルス A/Aichi/2/68(H3N2)を経鼻接種した。 ウィルス接種 5 日目に、 マウスの肺を摘出し、 そのウィルス量を MDCK細胞 (ィヌの腎臓由来) を用い たブラック形成による感染価として求めた。 また感染前後の体重を測定した。 その結果を図 1、 図 2に示す。 L一シスチンを添加しない基本食飼料摂取群を 対照としたところ、 肺のウィルス量は 6 . 1 1 ± 0 . 2 1 log10PFU/g であった のに対し、 L一シスチン添加群では 5 . 7 2 ± 0 . 2 5 1og10PFU/g であり、 有 意に (P < 0 . 0 5 ) 感染抑制効果を示した。 一方、 対照群が感染により 5日間 で 0 . 9 0 %の体重減少を示したのに対し、 L一シスチン添加群では逆に 3 . 4 8 %の体重増加を示した。 従って、 0 . 5 % L—シスチン添加群はインフルェン ザウィルス感染によって惹起される体重減少障害を克服していることが示された。 産業上の利用可能性 6-week-old BALB / c female mice in the growing season are reared on a diet containing 20% casein (basic diet) as a protein source for 1 week, and then fed with 0.5% L-cystine in the same diet. They were reared for another 2 weeks. In addition, those that were continuously bred with the basic diet were used as a control group. Ten animals were used for the test in each group. Then 1 0 5 PFU inflation Ruenzawirusu A / Aichi / 2/68 and (H3N2) was nasally inoculated. On day 5 after virus inoculation, the lungs of mice were excised, and the amount of the virus was determined as the infectious titer of black formation using MDCK cells (derived from dog kidney). The body weight before and after the infection was measured. Figures 1 and 2 show the results. When the control group was the basal diet without L-cystine, the lung viral load was 6.11 ± 0.21 log 10 PFU / g, whereas the L-cystine group did not. It was 0.72 ± 0.25 1 og 10 PFU / g, and significantly (P <0.05) showed an infection-suppressing effect. On the other hand, the control group showed 0.90% weight loss in 5 days due to infection, whereas the L-cystine-added group showed 3.48% weight gain. Therefore, it was shown that the group supplemented with 0.5% L-cystine overcomes the weight loss disorder caused by influenza virus infection. Industrial applicability

本発明のウィルス感染症予防剤および予防方法により、 ウィルス感染を抑制す ることができ、 感染に伴う体重減少を軽減できる。  ADVANTAGE OF THE INVENTION Virus infection can be suppressed and the weight loss accompanying infection can be reduced by the prophylactic agent and prophylactic method of viral infection of the present invention.
