AI Article Synopsis

  • Anaferon, a pediatric formulation, showed antiviral effects in mice infected with the H1N1 virus, significantly reducing virus production in their lungs.
  • Anaferon was administered both therapeutically and prophylactically, leading to a 10-fold decrease in viral load compared to control mice.
  • Its effectiveness was comparable to Tamiflu when given before or after the infection.

Article Abstract

Anaferon (pediatric formulation) administered in the therapeutic-and-prophylactic regimen to mice receiving intranasally 100% infecting dose of A/California/07/2009(H1N1)v influenza virus exhibited an antiviral effect and 10-fold reduced the production of influenza virus in the lungs of infected mice on days 4, 6, and 8 after infection compared to the control (distilled water). The efficiency of Anaferon (pediatric formulation) administered before and after infection with A/California/07/2009(H1N1)v influenza virus was not inferior to the use of Tamiflu after infection.
