德国科学家22日宣布，他们发现一种可杀死艾滋病病毒的缩氨酸物质，而副作用比现行抗艾滋病病毒药物更小。

 

    德国汉诺威大学医院研究人员发现的这种缩氨酸为VIR－576，是一种蛋白质，可制止艾滋病病毒附着人体细胞，杀死病毒。

 

    经过对18名艾滋病患者展开测试，这一成果发表于美国《科学转化医学》杂志上。

 

    汉诺威大学医院科学家赖因霍尔德·E·施密特说：“这是一种全新疗法，我们希望它能减少副作用……这种缩氨酸作用于病毒，而不是细胞，因此一些副作用不会发生。”自上世纪90年代中期以来，抗艾药物通过保护人体细胞、抵御病毒的方法治疗艾滋病。

 

    现行艾滋病治疗方法有效，但会增加中风和肝脏损伤风险。德国研究人员的测试显示，VIR－576可导致腹泻，但没发现有其他明显副作用。

 

    德国研究人员说，他们还没找到把VIR－576加入药片的方法，全部接受测试的患者都是通过静脉注射。施密特说，含VIR－576药物进入药店还需要几年时间。

 

    德国研究人员说，把新疗法加以改变，还可能用于治疗麻疹、丙肝、埃博拉病毒的研究。

     22 German scientists announced they found the AIDS virus can kill a peptide substances, and side effects than existing anti-HIV drugs is even smaller.

     University Hospital in Hanover, Germany, researchers found that this peptide for the VIR-576, is a protein that can be attached to human cells stop AIDS virus to kill the virus.

     After a start of 18 AIDS patients tested, the results are published in the United States, "Science into Medicine "magazine.

     Hannover University Hospital, E · scientists Reinhold Schmidt said: "This is a new therapy, we hope that it will reduce the side effects ... ... The peptides act on the virus, rather than cells, so some side effects Will not happen. "Since the last century, since the mid-90s, Kang Yiyao material of human cells by protecting against viruses method of treatment of AIDS.

     Current HIV treatment effective, but will increase the risk of stroke and liver damage. German researchers tested show, VIR-576 can cause diarrhea, but did not find any other obvious side effects.

     German researchers say they have not found the VIR-576 tablets ways to join, all patients were tested by intravenous injection. Schmidt said, with VIR-576 drugs into pharmacies also take several years.

     German researchers said the new therapy to change, possibly for the treatment of measles, hepatitis C, Ebola virus.
