Zusammenfassung:The invention provides a new medical application of ritonavir and in particular relates to an application of the ritonavir for preventing or treating Acute Lung Injury/Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ALI/ARDS) and pulmonary fibrosis in such a manner of inhibiting the occurrence and development of the ALI/ARDS and the pulmonary fibrosis by inhibiting the apoptosis of type I alveolar epithelial cells and promoting the expression of the Receptor For Advanced Glycation Endproducts (RAGE) of the type I alveolar epithelial cells. When in use, the oral administration dosage of the ritonavir ranges from 100mg to 6000mg, preferably, from 200mg to 3000mg.
