| Sumario: | Yinghua Li,* Zhengfang Lin,* Min Guo, Mingqi Zhao, Yu Xia, Changbing Wang, Tiantian Xu, Bing Zhu Center Laboratory, Guangzhou Women and Children’s Medical Center, Guangzhou Medical University, Guangzhou, China *These authors contributed equally to this work Introduction: As a therapeutic antiviral agent, the clinical application of amantadine (AM) is limited by the emergence of drug-resistant viruses. To overcome the drug-resistant viruses and meet the growing demand of clinical diagnosis, the use of biological nanoparticles (NPs) has increased in order to develop novel anti-influenza drugs. The antiviral activity of selenium NPs with low toxicity and excellent activities has attracted increasing attention for biomedical intervention in recent years.Methods and results: In the present study, surface decoration of selenium NPs by AM (Se@AM) was designed to reverse drug resistance caused by influenza virus infection. Se@AM with less toxicity remarkably inhibited the ability of H1N1 influenza to infect host cells through suppression of the neuraminidase activity. Moreover, Se@AM could prevent H1N1 from infecting Madin Darby Canine Kidney cell line and causing cell apoptosis supported by DNA fragmentation and chromatin condensation. Furthermore, Se@AM obviously inhibited the generation of reactive oxygen species and activation of phosphorylation of AKT.Conclusion: These results demonstrate that Se@AM is a potentially efficient antiviral pharmaceutical agent for H1N1 influenza virus.
