STATEMENT OF INVENTION
This invention is based on natural compound Chitin and Tinosporin which are efficient for treatment various viral diseases like HIV, HTLV and other viral disease. It has no side effect, cost effective.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION:
This invention is based on natural compound Chitin and Tinosporin which are efficient for the treatment of HIV. It is useful for all group of retrovirus which causes infection in human, all group of HIV (human immunodeficiency virus). HTLV (human T cell Lymphotrophic Virus). As well as all type of virus which enters in to the cell via receptor binding and then cell entry mechanism. These are harmless for any kind of allergy because they are naturally occurring compounds.
Tinosporin:
Tinosporin is an immunomodulatory agent. It increases the white cell count in pathological states to increase the phagocytes of the foreign material. This leads to the destruction of microbes in infections. Liver enzymes are positively influenced. It has anti-diabetic (hypoglycemic) actions. Tinospora cardifolia helps to reverse the fatty degeneration of liver. Anti-oxidant, anti-pyretic and anti-inflammatory functions of Tinospora cardifolia are well studied scientifically and documented. Chitin:
Chitin may play a role in a possible pathway in human allergic disease. Specifically, mice treated with chitin develop an allergic response, characterized by a build-up of interleukin-4 expressing innate immune cells. In these treated mice, additional treatment with a chitinase enzyme abolishes the response.
Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)
It is a lentivirus (a member of the retrovirus family) that causes acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS), a condition in humans in which the immune system begins to fail, leading to life-threatening opportunistic infections.
Mechanism of AIDS
When CD4+ T cell numbers decline below a critical level of 200 cells per μί, cell-mediated immunity is lost, and infections with a variety of opportunistic microbes appear. Common opportunistic infections and tumors, most of which are normally controlled by robust CD4+ T cell- mediated immunity then start to affect the patient. Typically, resistance is lost early on to oral Candida species and to Mycobacterium tuberculosis, which leads to an increased susceptibility to oral candidiasis (thrush) and tuberculosis. Later, reactivation of latent herpes viruses may cause worsening recurrences of herpes simplex eruptions, shingles, Epstein-Barr virus-induced B-cell lymphomas, or Kaposi's sarcoma.
Mechanism of HTLV:
The Human T-lymphotropic virus Type I (HTLV-1) is a human RN A retrovirus that causes T-cell leukemia and T-cell lymphoma in adults and may also be involved in certain demyelinating diseases, including tropical spastic paraparesis. The HTLV-1 genome is diploid, composed of two copies of a single-stranded RNA virus whose genome is copied into a double-stranded DNA form that integrates into the host cell genome, at which point the virus is referred to as a provirus. Adult T-lymphotropic virus (ATLV) is a strain of this disease that affects primarily adults. A closely related virus is bovine leukemia virus BLV.
Mode of action chitin and tinisporin on retrovirus
The invention emphasize specially on the application of compounds chitin and tinosporin which is acts as aa immunomodulator it increases innate immunity of the host where as tinisporin selectively inhibit virus from establishing infection to target t helper cells. The exact mechanism by which it prevent infection of virus and host cell is not known but on analysing from cell culture incubated with virus doesn't show any series activation of host cell it suggest either virus is not entering in to the cell or after entry it could not get activated .the concentration of tinosporin for prevention is 10% isolated in to active form from its natural source, and chitin >20 urn size in 10% solution base also plant lectins are added to boost up the effect.
Advantages of compounds-
The remedy is effective against all type of retroviruses and other viruses which enters in to the cell via receptor binding and then cell entry mechanism. Another advantage of this drug is that it is very cost effective and not toxic because all the substance is of natural origin as comparative to existing drug which is toxic and expensive and not 100% effective too. The unique feature of invention is that It's first natural fusion inhibitor for HIV or retroviruses.Thats why these compounds have no side effect. The unique feature of invention is that It's first natural fusion inhibitor for HIV or retroviruses.Thats why these compounds have no side effect.
