Methods for treating viral infections using hydrogen sulfide donors
Certain embodiments are directed to methods of treating respiratory infection by administering an H 2 S donor.
1. A method for treating a filoviridae viral infection of a subject comprising administering an effective amount of an H 2 S donor to the subject.
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the viral infection is an Ebola virus infection.
3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the H 2 S donor is administered by inhalation or inspiration into the respiratory tract.
4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the H 2 S donor is a slow release H 2 S donor.
5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the slow release H 2 S donor is administered in combination with a fast release H 2 S donor.
6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the H 2 S donor is Gyy4137, ACS67, diallyl trisulfide, NaHS, ATB-343, ATB-337, or AP67.
