Cytotoxicity
Binding Target Stalk region of H1
Mechanism Amphibian peptide that shows viricidal activity against human H1N1 influenza A virus. It specifically targets the conserved stalk region of H1 hemagglutinin, and acts by actively destroying influenza virions. It shows a reduced activity on human H3N2 influenza A virus and no activity against other viruses (HIV, SIV, HSV-II, hepatitis C, Ebola, Zika, and Dengue viruses). In vivo, the peptide also protects mice infected with mouse-adapted influenza virus from lethal influenza infection. The peptide synthesized in D-amino acids is inactive.
