Коронавирус: жевательная резинка против вируса

Идея исследователей состоит в том, чтобы «обмануть» вирус, выдав за настоящие клетки отдельные белковые молекулы. Так чтобы они блокировали вирус, не позволяя ему размножаться. Известно, что вирус прикрепляется к белку ACE2, расположенному на поверхности некоторых видов клеток и выполняющему роль рецептора. Так что учёные Университета Пенсильвании в Филадельфии создали жвачку с высоким содержанием этого белка, который также встречается и в клетках многих растений. Клинических испытаний на людях пока не проводили, но в лабораторных условиям метод показал очень неплохие результаты. Даже 5 мг белка в жевательной резинке оказывалось достаточно, чтобы существенно снизить проникновение вируса в клетки. А 50 мг снижали его активность на 95%. Впрочем, праздновать победу над пандемией пока рано. Нередко то, что отлично работает в пробирке, не выдерживает проверку реальностью. Всё же условия у нас во рту сильно отличаются от лабораторных. Неизвестно, как повлияет на эффективность резинки температура ротовой полости и живущие там колонии бактерий. Кроме того, совершенно непонятно, как долго жвачка будет эффективно выполнять свою функцию. Да и использованный в ходе опытов искусственный аналог коронавируса, хоть и сильно похож на настоящий SARS-CoV-2, а всё же значительно короче и проще по составу. Во всяком случае пока разработчики говорят о применении жвачки не для профилактики, а только чтобы
