Cytotoxicity 

  • [Ref:21994935]The peptides were non-cytotoxic in an ex vivo model and may be safe for in vivo use.

Binding Target  Hemagglutinin protein

Mechanism   The complete sequence (155–185) corresponds to the HA2 portion that bundles to the inner coiled-coil that is crucial for the fusion process; compound P155–181 lacks the four final residues between the N-capped coiled-coil and the transmembrane domain, while compound P155–175 corresponds to the most truncated sequence deficient the N-cap motif. Only cholesterol-tagged compounds containing the N-cap motif (155–185-Chol and 155–181-Chol) demonstrated antiviral activity against IAV/H3N2 in cell culture, most likely due to the ability of the cholesterol to fasten the peptide to the membrane and to form nanoparticles
