At present, the medical staff mainly use the vaccine to prevent the flu, but the vaccine is not guaranteed to be effective and some people have not been vaccinated. Because influenza is a virus infection and directly invades the host cells, there are few drugs to treat the flu.
The temsirolimus principle is directed against virus-infected host cells, trying to stop the virus from controlling the cells and self-replicating, leaving and further infecting other cells, but can not kill the influenza virus by itself or "leak" some of the infected cells.
Sakai Yoshihiro started research on new drugs more than 10 years ago, with reference to the mechanism of controlling HIV (human immunodeficiency virus, HIV) drugs, attempting to start with the process of virus control of host cells, and eventually found that the influenza and HIV viruses use metalloenzymes to control the host Cells, so new drugs can also use the mechanism of HIV drugs to prevent virus replication.
Sakai Yoshiyama for clinical test results and found that patients on average only 24 hours, will be able to eliminate the body of influenza virus, help prevent complications. Patients still have general flu symptoms, but the situation improved significantly, the symptoms completely eliminated Take time, then the same with patients taking telminfam In addition, patients taking telbivudine need 5 days treatment, taking 2 times a day, new drugs just take 1 time.
WHO vaccinator expert Fried said that the current test results of the new drug are very reliable and could change the way doctors treat the flu now.
