RIO DE JANEIRO, BRAZIL - The Cuban drug "Recombinant Interferon alfa 2b (IFNrec)" is one of 30 drugs selected to fight the coronavirus Covid-19 in China. According to media reports, it has already cured more than 1,500 patients. Since January 25th, it has been produced in the Chinese-Cuban plant Chanheber in the province of Jilin, according to the Cuban embassy in China.

According to specialists, it has so far been used to treat viral infections such as HIV/AIDS, recurrent respiratory papillomatosis, a respiratory tumor, and hepatitis B and C.

Developed in 1986 by Cuban researchers at the . .

haha. 

 

In Fall 2012 a new coronavirus appeared on the global public health radar. The virus has caused 17 cases of severe respiratory disease in the Middle East and Europe, and 11 of these people died. This new virus attracted immediate attention because of the high fatality rate—and because it was in the same family as the virus that caused the global outbreak of severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) in 2003, which sickened more than 8,000 people.

A team here at the virus ecology unit at NIAID got a sample of the virus, called nCoV, from The Netherlands in November. By December they had developed an animal model to study how the virus behaved and caused illness. Now, just a few months later, they report that two antiviral drugs, ribavirin and interferon-alpha 2b, will stop nCoV from replicating in cells grown in the lab.

Clearly more studies are needed to figure out whether the treatment will translate to humans, but it’s an important first step. That’s virus to treatment in about four months—pretty impressive.

Cuban President Miguel Díaz-Canel noted the Chinese government's determined efforts to confront the coronavirus 2019-NCOV epidemic, with positive results now becoming evident, including the recovery of more than 1,500 patients.

Díaz-Canel tweeted: "Interferon alpha 2B: Cuban drug used in China against coronavirus. Our support to the Chinese government and people in their efforts to combat the coronavirus," while noting the use of an anti-viral product from the country’s biotechnology industry.

The drug, IFNrec, is one of about 30 medications selected by the Chinese National Health Commission to treat the respiratory condition and, according to statements on Cuban television by Dr. Luis Herrera Martinez, scientific and commercial advisor to the President of BioCubaFarma, its selection was based on effectiveness shown previously against viruses with characteristics similar to those of this coronavirus.

"It has the advantage, in situations like these, of functioning as a protective mechanism, preventing patients from getting worse, reaching a severe stage, with death as the outcome," the specialist explained.

Dr. Herrera noted that Cuba shared the technology to produce the drug some years ago, with the opening of the ChangHeber joint Chinese-Cuban facility in the town of Changchun, Jilin province. This plant makes "the same product we do,” he noted, “with exactly the same technology, meeting quality standards approved by Chinese and Cuban regulatory authorities."

The Cuban embassy in China reported on its Twitter account, "The Chinese-Cuban Changheber plant in Jilin has been producing Interferon alpha (IFNrec) with the use of Cuban technology since the first day of the Lunar New Year. The Chinese Health Commission has selected our product among those used in the fight against coronavirus."

 

February 10th cured 1,500 patients.  Looks like helping everyone out.

 

Like in 12 (year) cured. Same drug.

Nothing is free. The debate should be whether tax money is used for vaccination purposes.

If all the doctors using that drug in China. Looks like working badass with it. All countries should have it.

 

They do.  Or should.  Interferon alpha has been around for over 30 years now.
