Antiviral Activity of Extracts from the Daedaleopsis confragosa F-1368 Basidiomycete
The antiviral activity of extracts of the basidial fungus Daedaleopsis confragosa (Bolton) J. Schröt strain F-1368 cultivated under the laboratory conditions has been studied. It was shown that the extracts obtained from 1 L of the culture contained proteins and polysaccharides in the amount of 71±5 and 413±15 mg/L of culture, respectively. Antiviral activity (ED50) against the pandemic influenza virus A/California/07/09 (H1N1)pdm09 was observed at extract concentrations in the range of 0.02-0.12 mg/mL depending on the culture medium. The therapeutic index (CC50/ED50) was at the level of 14-17, which makes it possible to recommend D. confragosa extracts for the development of antiviral agents. It was shown that treatment with hydrolytic enzymes (trypsin, zymolyase) leads to an increase in cytotoxicity and a decrease in the antiviral activity of the extracts.
