There is disclosed compositions and methods for treating and preventing Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS) including ARDS caused by viral respiratory disease of zoonotic origin such as eoronaviruses. The present disclosure is based on a surprising discovery of significant efficacy in an acute lung injury model using intrapulmonary lipopolysaccharide (LPS) challenge in female CD-I mice. Based on these data, the test compound, denatonium acetate monohydrate (DA) (1) treats or prevents ARDS and, (2) treats severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) caused by a coronavirus. Therefore, the data achieved in these studies does have a story to tell and the story is that a DA pharmaceutical composition, administered orally, provided a method to treat or prevent ARDS and treat SARS. Preferably, the pharmaceutical composition for daily administration comprises DA delivering a daily total dose of from about 20 mg to about 2000 mg to a human adult.
本发明涉及用于治疗和预防急性呼吸窘迫综合症(ARDS)的组合物和方法,包括由类似于冠状病毒的动物源性病毒引起的ARDS。本公开是基于对雌性CD-I小鼠肺内脂
多糖(LPS)挑战的急性肺损伤模型的显着疗效的惊人发现。根据这些数据,测试化合物,醇
苦味酸乙酯单
水合物(
DA)(1)可用于治疗或预防ARDS,以及(2)用于治疗由冠状病毒引起的严重急性呼吸综合症(
SARS)。因此,这些研究所获得的数据确实有一个故事要讲,即通过口服给予
DA制药组合物,提供了一种治疗或预防ARDS和治疗
SARS的方法。最好,每日用药组合物包括
DA,每日向成年人提供总剂量约为20毫克至约2000毫克的
DA。
