Published: March 2001

We isolated FR198248 from the cultured broth of Aspergillus terreus No. 13830 as a new anti-influenza agents. The structure of FR198248 was elucidated by several spectroscopic experiments as a novel tetrahydroxybenzaldehyde compound. Furthermore, we described the characteristics of FR198248, its related compounds and some derivatives.

Streptococcus pneumoniae and influenza A virus (IAV) are significant agents of pneumonia cases and severe respiratory infections globally. Secondary bacterial infections, particularly by Streptococcus pneumoniae, are common in IAV-infected individuals, leading to critical outcomes. Despite reducing mortality, pneumococcal vaccines have high production costs and are serotype specific.

Since 2000, rapid antigen detection kits and anti-influenza drugs have been used for the early diagnosis and treatment of influenza in Japan, respectively. The main drugs available in clinical practice are the neuraminidase inhibitors oseltamivir, zanamivir, laninamivir, and peramivir, as well as the cap-dependent endonuclease inhibitor baloxavir marboxil. Antiviral therapy with neuraminidase inhibitors has been practiced for many years, especially in Japan; it can shorten the febrile period and reduce complications.

Influenza is a disease of significant morbidity and mortality. The number of anti-influenza drugs is small; many of them stimulate the appearance of resistant strains. This article presents the results of assessing the antiviral activity of 1,2,3-triazole-containing derivatives of alkaloid lupinine for their ability to suppress the reproduction of orthomyxoviruses (influenza viruses: A/Vladivostok/2/09 (H1N1) and A/Almaty/8/98 (H3N2)).

This study focuses on the elucidation of the structure and antiviral properties of six nitrogen-containing compounds including amino acid derivates (1 and 2) and heterocyclic compounds (3-6) isolated from the fruiting bodies of Sarcodon imbricatus, particularly Compound 2, an (S)-2-(hydroxyimino)-3-methylpentanoic acid ethyl ester. Their antiviral effects were tested against influenza A virus (IAV) in A549 cells. Particularly, Compound 2 exhibited significant antiviral activity in post-treatment assays, reducing viral protein expression and inhibiting viral replication with an IC of 14.

The genetic recombination and antigenic variation of influenza viruses may decrease the efficacy of antiviral vaccines, highlighting the imperativeness of developing novel anti-influenza agents. Herein, a series of thiophene-based compounds were designed and synthesized as potent anti-influenza agents. Among them, exhibited an excellent anti-influenza activity (EC, H1N1 = 1.
