Effect of Baloxavir marboxil (5-45 mg/kg; oral gavage; Twice daily for 5 days.) treatment in mice inoculated with A(H5N1) virus with or without PA-I38M. Female six-week-old BALB/c mice (n = 16/group) were inoculated with 5× MLD50 of A/California/147/2024 (CA/147, wildtype) (A,C,E,G) or A/California/150/2024 (CA/150, PA-I38M mutation) (B, D, F, H). Immediately after infection (∼2hpi), all inoculated mice we treated twice daily by oral gavage with Baloxavir marboxil or placebo for 5 days (purple horizontal bar). Survival (A, B) and body weights (C, D) were monitored daily for 14 (CA/147, A and C) or 21 (CA/150, B and D) days (n = 8 mice per treatment dose).

Confluent monolayer of MDCK-II cells were infected with the respective virus strains (MOI = 0.001) and incubated for 1 h. Subsequently, cells were treated by adding infection media containing either BXA (0.9 nM) or ATR-002 at the indicated concentrations. After 24 h, the virus titers were determined by focus assay.

Five days of treatment, commencing at 1 dpi, body weight changes, and a 14-day survival rate in each group (n = 6). The survival rates in each treatment group were compared with the placebo group. he results showed that when the treatment time was extended to 5 days post-infection, both Baloxavir marboxil (BXM, 15 mg/kg; p.o.; twice daily) and combination treatments improved body weight and survival. The combination group also showed the highest survival rate.

Effects of the molnupiravir and Baloxavir marboxil (BXM, 15 mg/kg; p.o.; twice daily) combination treatment on the pathological changes following influenza H1N1 infection. Lung tissue harvested at 4 dpi was stained with H&E. The images on the left showed the pathological changes in each group (n = 6), with a scale bar of 2 mm. The images in the middle and right (a-h) were magnified from the corresponding squares on the left, with a scale bar of 100 μm. Histological results indicated that lung damage and inflammation in the BXM and combination groups were less severe than those in the other groups (p < 0.05).

Note: Inhibitory concentration 50 (IC50) interval of VX-787, ribavirin and oseltamivir have been obtained through multiple determinations for A/WSN/33 and A/Udorn/72. Baloxavir marboxil IC50 range for A/WSN/33 and A/Udorn/72 comes from 5 independent determinations. A/Ca/07/09 data for VX-787, Baloxavir marboxil, oseltamivir and ribavirin come from 3 independent determinations.
