Abstract | Influenza can cause respiratory infections, leading to significant morbidity and mortality in humans. While current influenza vaccines offer varying levels of protection, there remains a pressing need for effective antiviral drugs to supplement vaccine efforts. Currently, the FDA-approved antiviral drugs for influenza include oseltamivir, zanamivir, peramivir, and baloxavir marboxil. These antivirals primarily target the virus, making them vulnerable to drug resistance. In this study, we evaluated the efficacy of the neuraminidase inhibitor, oseltamivir, against probenecid, which targets the host cells and is less likely to engender resistance. Our results show that probenecid has superior antiviral efficacy compared to oseltamivir in both in vitro replication assays and in vivo mouse models of influenza infection. |
