摘要
Influenza A remains a significant public health challenge because of the emergence of antigenically shifted or highly virulent strains(1-5). Antiviral resistance to available drugs such as adamantanes or neuraminidase inhibitors has appeared rapidly(6-9), creating a need for new antiviral targets and new drugs for influenza virus infections. Using forward chemical genetics, we have identified influenza A nucleoprotein (NP) as a druggable target and found a small-molecule compound, nucleozin, that triggers the aggregation of NP and inhibits its nuclear accumulation. Nucleozin impeded influenza A virus replication in vitro with a nanomolar median effective concentration (EC(50)) and protected mice challenged with lethal doses of avian influenza A H5N1. Our results demonstrate that viral NP is a valid target for the development of small-molecule therapies.
