The present invention relates to a pharmaceutical composition comprising Diltiazem in a suitable pharmaceutical carrier for its therapeutic use in the prevention and/or treatment of a viral infection caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus, referred to as COVID-19 disease.

Embodiments of the invention employ methods and compositions for enhancing potency of immune cells that express one or more therapeutic proteins. In certain cases, the methods modulate expression of a CAR transgene in an immune cell, such as a T cell. Specific embodiments employ the exposure of cells and/or individuals to be treated with the cells with an effective amount of at least one agent that upregulates expression of the therapeutic protein, such as a mitogen, histone deacetylase inhibitor, and or DNA methyltransferase inhibitor.

The benzisoselazole derivative of formula (I) can be used for preparing an anti-coronavirus drug or a drug for treating diseases caused by coronaviruses. The benzisoselazole derivatives can effectively inhibit the activity of 2019-nCoV 3CLpro proteolytic enzyme, thus inhibiting the activation of 2019-nCoV RNA polymerase, inhibiting virus replication, while also effectively treating interstitial lung disease (ILD) caused by coronavirus.
