Activity Information


Target Organism  Influenza A H1N1

Assay  Plaque reduction

Activity 

  • [Ref:22258859]IAV:IC50=0.00004μM

Hemolytic Activity  No hemolysis information or data found in the reference(s) presented in this entry

Cytotoxicity  No cytotoxicity information found in the reference(s) presented

Binding Target  Hemagglutinin protein

Mechanism  The mechanism of action was demonstrated to be the interference with the viral attachment via contact with HA, as demonstrated by ELISA assay, but they do not block hemagglutination produced by the virus, so they do not interact on the receptor binding site. Moreover, the compounds were tested on Balb/c mice infected with a lethal dose of A/WSN/33 virus, showing an ability to reduce the viral titer by 2–4 log units
