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)).

Inhibition of neuraminidase is the most prominent target in influenza medication using oseltamivir as an inhibitor. However, the emerging resistance of neuraminidase toward oseltamivir due to mutation reduces the efficacy of oseltamivir. The generally reported mutation is a single mutation at H274Y, which declines the sensitivity of oseltamivir by almost 900 folds compared to the wild-type variant.

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.

In recent decades, epidemics and pandemics have multiplied throughout the world, with viruses generally being the primary responsible agents. Among these, influenza viruses play a key role, as they potentially cause severe respiratory distress, representing a major threat to public health. Our study aims to develop new broad-spectrum antivirals against influenza to improve the response to viral disease outbreaks.
