Viruses, Vol. 16, Pages 626: Detection and Characterization of Influenza A Virus Endemic Circulation in Suckling and Nursery Pigs Originating from Vaccinated Farms in the Same Production System
The objective of this study was to evaluate the detection of IAV in suckling and nursery piglets from IAV-vaccinated sows from farms with endemic IAV infections. Eight nasal swab collections were obtained from 135 two-week-old suckling piglets from four farms every other week from March to September 2013. Oral fluid samples were collected from the same group of nursery piglets. IAV RNA was detected in 1.64% and 31.01% of individual nasal swabs and oral fluids, respectively. H1N2 was detected most often, with sporadic detection of H1N1 and H3N2. Whole-genome sequences of IAV isolated from suckling piglets revealed an H1 hem...

Synthesis of Rupestonic Acid L-Ephedrine Derivatives with Preliminary In vitro Anti-influenza Viral Activity
CONCLUSION: The rupestonic acid L-ephedrine ester (A) and rupestonic acid L-ephedrine complex (B) were synthesized and characterized using 1H NMR and 13C NMR. Moreover, their purity was determined by HPLC. Both compounds A and B exhibited more potent activities against the strains of A/PR/8/34 (H1N1) and A/FM/1/47 (H1N1) than rupestonic acid. Compound A can be regarded as a very promising lead compound for the development of anti-influenza inhibitors. Based on these results, more rupestonic acid derivatives will be designed and synthesized in the future for the development of anti-influenza inhibitors.PMID:38623973 | DOI:1...

Interaction and Antiviral Treatment of Coinfection between SARS-CoV-2 and Influenza in Vitro
CONCLUSIONS: In coinfection, the replication of SARS-CoV-2 would be interfered by influenza H1N1. Compared with molnupiravir or baloxavir monotherapy, treatment with a combination of molnupiravir and baloxavir should be considered for early treatment in patients with SARS-CoV-2 and influenza coinfection.PMID:38621598 | DOI:10.1016/j.virusres.2024.199371 (Source: Virus Research)

Design, synthesis, docking, and antiviral evaluation of some novel pyrimidinone-based α-aminophosphonates as potent H1N1 and HCoV-229E inhibitors
Bioorg Chem. 2024 Apr 8;147:107353. doi: 10.1016/j.bioorg.2024.107353. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTDialkyl/aryl aminophosphonates, 3a-g and 4a-e were synthesized using the LiClO4 catalyzed Kabachnic Fields-type reaction straightforwardly and efficiently. The synthesized phosphonates structures were characterized using elemental analyses, FT-IR, 1H NMR, 13C NMR, and MS spectroscopy. The new compounds were subjected to in-silico molecular docking simulations to evaluate their potential inhibition against Influenza A Neuraminidase and RNA-dependent RNA polymerase of human coronavirus 229E. Subsequently, the compounds were f...

A sensitive fluorescence biosensor based on ligation-transcription and CRISPR/Cas13a-assisted cascade amplification strategies to detect the H1N1 virus
Anal Bioanal Chem. 2024 Apr 13. doi: 10.1007/s00216-024-05269-x. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTWe propose a sensitive H1N1 virus fluorescence biosensor based on ligation-transcription and CRISPR/Cas13a-assisted cascade amplification strategies. Products are generated via the hybridization of single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) probes containing T7 promoter and crRNA templates to a target RNA sequence using SplintR ligase. This generates large crRNA quantities in the presence of T7 RNA polymerase. At such crRNA quantities, ternary Cas13a, crRNA, and activator complexes are successfully constructed and activate Cas13a to enhance flu...

Preparation and characterization of curdlan-chitosan conjugate nanoparticles as mucosal adjuvants for intranasal influenza H1N1 subunit vaccine
In this study, stable nanoparticles formed by curdlan-O-HTCC conjugate (CO NP) were prepared and characterized. Furthermore, the efficacy of CO NP was evaluated as a mucosal adjuvant in an intranasal influenza H1N1 subunit vaccine. The results revealed that CO NP exhibits uniform and spherical morphology, with a size of 190.53 ± 4.22 nm, and notably, it remains stable in PBS at 4 °C for up to 6 weeks. Biological evaluation demonstrated that CO NP stimulates the activation of antigen-presenting cells (APCs), including macrophages and dendritic cells (DCs), both in vitro and in vivo. Furthermore, intranasal administration ...

Supplementation of seasonal vaccine with multi-subtype neuraminidase and M2 ectodomain virus-like particle improves protection against homologous and heterologous influenza viruses in aged mice
Antiviral Res. 2024 Mar 30:105877. doi: 10.1016/j.antiviral.2024.105877. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe conventional inactivated split seasonal influenza vaccine offers low efficacy, particularly in the elderly and against antigenic variants. Here, to improve the efficacy of seasonal vaccination for the elderly population, we tested whether supplementing seasonal bivalent (H1N1 + H3N2) split (S) vaccine with M2 ectodomain repeat and multi-subtype consensus neuraminidase (NA) proteins (N1 NA + N2 NA + flu B NA) on a virus-like particle (NA-M2e) would induce enhanced cross-protection against different influenza viruses in...
