3-anhydro-6-hydroxy-ophiobolin A inhibits the replication of influenza A virus in vitro and in vivo
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: Influenza is a major cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide, and the emerging drug resistance poses an increasing challenge to the treatment of influenza virus infection. Therefore, the development of a novel antiviral drugs has become an urgent task to combat against the influenza viruses that are resistant to the current therapeutic treatment. Here, by screening a small molecule chemical compound library, we identified 3-anhydro-6-epi-ophiobolin A (named L435) as a potent anti-influenza agent. Mechanistically, L435 markedly reduced influenza virus replication in vitro and in vivo. Importantly, L435 treatment improved the survival of influenza-virus-infected mice, suggesting that L435 may be a novel therapeutic agent for treatment of influenza virus infections. This microarray experiment was carried out to explore gene expression changes in influenza-virus-infected A549 cells after L435 treatment, and find out why L435 could inhibit the replication of influenza A virus.
