Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS) causes up to 40% mortality in humans and is difficult to treat. ARDS is also one of the major triggers of mortality associated with coronavirus-induced disease (COVID-19). We used a mouse model of ARDS induced by Staphylococcal enterotoxin B (SEB), which tr …

The current pandemic of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) has presented unprecedented challenges to the healthcare systems in almost every country around the world. Currently, there are no proven effective vaccines or therapeut …

Effective treatment choices to the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) are limited because of the absence of effective target-based therapeutics. The main object of the current research was to estimate the antiviral activity of cannabinoids (CBDs) against the human coronavir …

We discussed evident effects of aloe-emodin and aloe polysaccharide on the therapy of viral infections and epigenetic factor butyrate that is involved in latency and reactivation in viral infection. Furthermore we presented eight case reports of Kampo medicine with Aloe vera juice (AVJ) to virus infections. Kampo medicine with AVJ-successive ingestion demonstrates to be suitably personalized medicine for virus infections and improves gut-microbial ecosystem in host. The potential Kampo medicine with AVJ may provide fresh insights as an anti-virus medicine for homeostatic regulation in host.

The nasal cavity and turbinates play important physiological functions by filtering, warming and humidifying inhaled air. Paranasal sinuses continually produce nitric oxide (NO), a reactive oxygen species that diffuses to the bronchi and lungs to produce bronchodilatory and vasodilatory effects. Stu …

Compromised lung function is a feature of both infection driven and non-infective pathologies. Viral infections—including the current pandemic strain SARS-CoV-2—that affect lung function can cause both acute and long-term chronic damage. SARS-CoV-2 infection suppresses innate immunity and promotes an inflammatory response. Targeting these aspects of SARS-CoV-2 is important as the pandemic affects greater proportions of the population. In clinical and animal studies, fucoidans have been shown to increase innate immunity and decrease inflammation. In addition, dietary fucoidan has been shown to attenuate pulmonary damage in a model of acute viral infection. Direct inhibition of SARS-CoV-2 in vitro has been described, but is not universal. This short review summarizes the current research on fucoidan with regard to viral lung infections and lung damage.

Quercetin can have a very nice antiinflammatory effect if you're taking it prophylactically. There's actually research studies that show quercetin has antiviral properties,and that quercetin actually can reduce the risk of developing upper airway diseases, upper respiratory tract infections and things of that nature. Quercetin also blocks the cycle oxygen ACE enzyme. That's why a lot of scientists are focusing in on quercitin as a potential. I wouldn't recommend quercitin to block the COX enzyme to reduce a fever because it doesn't work quite that way. Quercitin is not going to have that acute fever reducing capacity, but it is going to have that that overall reduction in overall inflammatory capacity. Then why do we want to know about this as it relates to any virus? Well, the research shows that quercetin through its effect on inflammation, can inhibit viral replication in multiple different areas. It's been very, very powerful as a nutrient in regards to immune function. So a lot of you have asked me, because vitamin C is very scarce right now, what can I use if I want to support my immune system right now? What can I use instead of vitamin C? I just can't find any vitamin C. Well, one of the things you can use is quercetin. Quercetin is very, very good at a lot of the things that vitamin C is good at. And because of its antiviral properties, it's actually been studied to be antiviral against the rhinovirus, against influenza, against the hepatitis virus, against Ebola virus. So there are a number of research studies that show that course it's in has very potent antiviral effects.

Norovirus is the leading cause of nonbacterial foodborne disease outbreaks. Human noroviruses (HuNoVs) bind to histo-blood group antigens as the host receptor for infection. In this study, the inhibitory effects of fucoidans from brown algae, Laminaria japonica (LJ), Undaria pinnatifida and Undaria pinnatifida sporophyll, were evaluated against murine norovirus (MNoV), feline calicivirus (FCV) and HuNoV. Pretreatment of MNoV or FCV with the fucoidans at 1 mg/mL showed high antiviral activities, with 1.1 average log reductions of viral titers in plaque assays. They also showed significant inhibition on the binding of the P domains of HuNoV GII.4 and GII.17 to A- or O-type saliva and the LJ fucoidan was the most effective, reaching 54–72% inhibition at 1 mg/mL. In STAT1−/− mice infected with MNoV, oral administration of the LJ fucoidan, composed of mainly sulfated fucose and minor amounts of glucose and galactose, improved the survival rates of mice and significantly reduced the viral titers in their feces. Overall, these results provide the LJ fucoidan can be used to reduce NoV outbreaks.
