Antiviral drugs can play a significant role in the control of influenza. Umifenovir (Arbidol) is licensed and widely used in Russia for the prophylaxis and/or treatment of influenza. We evaluated the susceptibility to umifenovir of reference influenza A and B viruses and influenza A viruses isolated from patients in the ARBITR clinical trial in 2012-2014 seasons. Using an MDCK cell-based enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), we showed that the replication of antigenically dominant human influenza A and B viruses was efficiently inhibited by umifenovir. The wild-type А/Perth/265/2009 (H1N1)pdm09, A/Fukui/45/2004 (H3N2), and B/Perth/211/2001 viruses and their oseltamivir-resistant counterparts were susceptible to umifenovir among in vitro laboratory assays. All 18 clinical isolates of influenza A viruses obtained before and during therapy were susceptible to umifenovir with 50% effective concentration (EC |
