cbs 1194

CBS1194 is a novel antiviral agent against influenza A virus (IAV), and is more specifically, a group 2 IAV fusion inhibitor. CBS1194 prevents membrane fusion of the virus through the inhibition of the conformational change of hemagglutinin (HA). CBS1194 causes steric hinderance that prevents the rearrangement of the HA that would normally be induced by low-pH, by fitting into the pocket by the fusion peptide.
