A calixarene compound in an antiviral effective amount for use as an antiviral substance in a pharmaceutical preparation for use in prophylactic or therapeutic treatment of a disease condition which is caused by or associated with an infection with a virus.
- Claim:
1. A method for prophylactically or therapeutically treating a disease condition which is caused by or associated with an infection of a subject with one or more viruses comprising at least one respiratory virus, comprising administering an antiviral effective amount of a calixarene compound to the subject.
- Claim:
2. The method of claim 1, wherein said one or more viruses are selected from: a) a Coronaviridae virus; b) an Adenoviridae virus; c) a Paramyxoviridae virus; or d) an Orthomyxoviridae virus.
- Claim:
3. The method of claim 1, wherein said one or more viruses comprise a coronavirus.
- Claim:
4. The method of claim 1, wherein said one or more viruses comprise any one or both of SARS-CoV-2 and influenza virus.
- Claim:
5. The method of claim 1, wherein the calixarene compound is formulated as a pharmaceutical preparation in admixture with a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier.
- Claim:
6. The method of claim 1, wherein the disease condition is common cold, infection of the nose, sinusitis, throat and larynx, bronchiolitis, diarrhea, rash on skin, or pneumonia, acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS).
- Claim:
7. The method of claim 1, wherein the antiviral effective amount is effective in preventing infection of susceptible cells by the virus, thereby treating the disease condition.
- Claim:
8. The method of claim 1, wherein the antiviral effective amount is administered locally or systemically.
- Claim:
9. The method of claim 1, wherein the calixarene compound is a calix[n]arene characterized by the structure (I): [chemical expression included] wherein n=denotes 4, 5, 6, 7, or 8 and R is selected from the group consisting of —SO3Ra, ORE, COORa, hydrogen, or halogen, and each Ra is hydrogen or methyl; or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof.
- Claim:
10. The method of claim 9, wherein the calix[n]arene is a calix[4]arene with four intrannular hydroxyl groups on the lower rim and four sulfonate or carboxyilate groups on the upper rim.
- Claim:
11. The method of claim 5, wherein said pharmaceutical preparation is formulated for local administration to the upper and lower respiratory tract or by nasal, pulmonary, intraoral, ocular, or dermal delivery, or is formulated for systemic administration by intravenous, intramuscular, subcutaneous, intradermal, transdermal, or oral administration.

- Claim:
15. The method of claim 1, wherein the subject has been infected or is at risk of being infected with said virus.
- Claim:
16. A method for treating a biological surface to prevent virus infection and/or virus spread, comprising applying an antiviral effective amount of a calixarene compound to the biological surface preferably wherein said medicinal product is formulated for topical use, such as application to the upper and lower respiratory tract, nasal, pulmonary, intraoral, ocular, or dermal application.
- Claim:
17. The method of claim 2, wherein said one or more viruses are selected from: a) SARS-CoV-2, MERS-CoV, SARS-CoV-1, HCoV-OC43, HCoV-HKU1, HCoV-NL63, HCoV-229E, PEDV, or naturally-occurring variants or mutants of any of the foregoing; b) HAdVB, HAdVC, or HAdVD; c) RSV; or d) an influenza virus.
- Claim:
18. The method of claim 10, wherein the calix[n]arene is Sulfonatocalixarene or Sulfonatocalixarene sodium salt.
- Claim:
19. The method of claim 14, wherein the one or more active substances are selected from the group consisting of an antiviral substance, an anti-inflammatory substance, and an antibiotic substance.
- Claim:
20. The method of claim 16, wherein said calixarene compound is formulated for topical use for application to the upper and lower respiratory tract, or for nasal, pulmonary, intraoral, ocular, or dermal application.
