Description |
A cell-permeable isoxazolylpiperazine compound that is shown to inhibit influenza A H1N1 (A/WSN/33 strain), H3N2 (clinical isolate), and H5N1 (A/Vietnam/1194/04) replication in MDCK cells in vitro (EC 50 = 69, 160, and 330 nM, respectively) and significantly reduce fatality after A/Vietnam/1194/04 infection in mice in vivo (50% survial rate on day 21 with 14 b.i.d. i.p. doses of 230 µg/mouse in the first 7 days after infection) by preventing nucleoprotein (NP) nuclear accumulation via NP aggregation induction during early stages of viral infection
