Scientists have come to the conclusion that in nature there is a natural remedy that can resist a new type of coronavirus infection.
The discovery was made by an international research team of scientists from the US and China.
The natural enzyme catalase, which inhibits the replication of SARS-CoV-2, has similar properties.
Scientists have been able to prove that the natural enzyme has an anti-inflammatory effect and regulates the production of cytokines.
Cytokines are known to play a major role in the immune response, but in excess they cause inflammation that can be fatal.
Experimentally, scientists were able to prove that in rhesus monkeys, catalase inhibits the replication of the SARS-CoV-2 virus, but without exerting a toxic effect.
It was also possible to find out that the studied enzyme protects the cells of the inner surface of the alveoli in the lungs.
