Abstract
This work presents the results of studies on the extract obtained from the root of Ferula kuhistanica Korov, in relation to 2 strains of the influenza virus: A/Vlad/2/09(H1N1) and A/Almaty/8/98(H3N2). It has been shown that the F. kuhistanica Korov extract exhibits selective antiviral activity and primarily acts on the influenza virus strain A/Vlad/2/09(H1N1), not showing an inhibitory effect against another antigenic variant of this virus – the strain A/ Almaty/8/98(H3N2). The tested extract was characterized by high IC50, EC50, and IS50 indicators. Its chemotherapeutic effect (XTI) is 23 times higher than that of the commercial anti-influenza drug - Tamiflu. The data obtained open up prospects for the possible use of extracts obtained from the root of various species of the genus Ferula, growing in our country, in the development of anti-influenza drugs.
