Eating more fruits and drinking red wine can also achieve the benefits of preventing new coronary pneumonia. Hong Mingqi, President of China Medical University, led a scientific research team to extend the results of previous SARS studies and found that “tannin” can double inhibit the main protease of the new coronavirus and the transmembrane serine protease 2 of human cells, thereby preventing the virus from entering the human body. The research results were published in the international journal “American Journal of Cancer Research”.
Hong Mingqi said that during the SARS epidemic in the past, the research team conducted research on its prevention and treatment, but because the SARS epidemic disappeared after half a year, related research was also terminated. Recently, due to the continuous spread of new coronary pneumonia at home and abroad, the research team adjusted the past research data and continued to study the characteristics of the new coronavirus. Sure enough, it was found that “tannin” has special benefits.
Hong Mingqi said that the “main protease” in the new coronavirus is a key role in affecting the spread and growth of the virus. When the virus enters the human body, it must be combined with the “transmembrane serine protease 2” in human cells. Tannin is It has the effect of inhibiting the main protease of the virus, and it can also prevent the transmembrane serine protease 2 from binding to the virus when the virus enters the human body, so that the virus cannot really enter the human cell.
Research team members, Professor Wang Shaochun and Associate Professor Chen Ye said that tannic acid is a natural compound of water-soluble polyphenols, which is found in many plants and fruits, such as vegetables, bananas, grapes, cranberries, nectarines, and red wine. All have tannins. In fact, in addition to the effect of inhibiting the main protease of the new coronavirus, tannins have recently been confirmed to inhibit the metabolism, proliferation and metastasis of cancer cells, and have anti-inflammatory effects.
Hong Mingqi emphasized that the current research by the team has confirmed that tannic acid can inhibit the activity of the new coronavirus and can also prevent the virus from entering the human body to a certain extent. It is highly prospective in fighting the new coronary pneumonia epidemic. The team will continue to study which foods are contained in the Ning acid content is higher.
