[0059] Example 1

[0060] The following example illustrates the inhibitory effect of fensoltinib on the virus.

[0061] 1. Experimental Methods

[0062] 1.1 Inhibitory effect of Fisogatinib on viral load in cells

[0063] (1) RAW264.7 cells (2*10) 5 After culturing in 24-well plates for 16 hours, vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV), a non-pathogenic, enveloped, negative-strand RNA rhabdovirus, was added at an MOI of 0.1, followed by the addition of the small molecule compound fisogatinib to a final concentration of 50 nM. After co-culturing for 12 hours, viral load was detected by RT-qPCR. The positive control group consisted of VSV + DMSO, and the negative control group consisted of DMSO. Actb was used as an internal control to calculate relative expression levels.

[0064] (2) RAW264.7 cells (2*10) 5 After culturing in 24-well plates for 16 hours, herpes simplex virus (HSV), a double-stranded linear DNA virus, with an MOI of 0.1 was added, followed by the small molecule compound Fisogatinib, to a final concentration of 50 nM. After co-culturing for 12 hours, viral load was detected by RT-qPCR. The positive control group consisted of HSV + DMSO, and the negative control group consisted of DMSO. Actb was used as an internal control to calculate relative expression values.

[0065] (3) RAW264.7 cells (2*10) 5After culturing in 24-well plates for 16 hours, encephalomyocarditis virus (EMCV), a non-enveloped single-stranded positive-sense RNA virus, with an MOI of 0.1, was added, followed by the small molecule compound fisogatinib, to a final concentration of 50 nM. After co-culturing for 12 hours, viral load was detected by RT-qPCR. The positive control group consisted of EMCV + DMSO, and the negative control group consisted of DMSO. Actb was used as an internal control to calculate relative expression values.

[0066] 1.2 Flow cytometry analysis of the antiviral activity of Fisogatinib

[0067] RAW264.7 cells (2*10) 5 After culturing the cells in 24-well plates for 16 hours, the cells were infected with VSV-GFP at MOI=0.1 for 12 hours. The viral infection and antiviral effects of small molecule drugs were then detected by flow cytometry using the GFP channel.

[0068] 2. Experimental Results

[0069] like Figure 1 As shown, the small molecule compound Fisogatinib can effectively reduce viral load in RAW264.7 cells, significantly inhibit the replication of various DNA or RNA viruses, and exhibits potent antiviral activity.

[0070] like Figure 2 As shown in the flow cytometry results, compared with the control group, the VSV-GFP fluorescence signal in the Fisogatinib-treated experimental group was significantly reduced. The experiment showed that the intracellular viral infection and replication capacity of the Fisogatinib group was reduced, which demonstrated the antiviral efficacy of Fisogatinib.

[0071] Example 2

[0072] The following example illustrates the viral inhibitory effect of fensoltinib in a viral infection model.

[0073] This embodiment conducted experiments in a viral infection model, treating viral-infected mice with Fisogatinib. The results showed that the drug could significantly reduce viral load and improve the survival rate of mice, as detailed below:

[0074] 1. Experimental Methods

[0075] Six-week-old, weight-matched, littermate male C57BL / 6J wild-type mice were selected and housed in a pathogen-free (SPF) facility. Virus solution was diluted with sterile PBS to a final infection dose of 1 × 10⁻⁶ per mouse. 8 Store at 100 μL of PFU in an ice bath at 4°C, avoiding repeated freeze-thaw cycles.

[0076] Mice were randomly assigned to groups, and their initial weight was recorded before the experiment. Mice were gently restrained in a restraint device, and their abdomens were wiped with 75% ethanol to ensure the injection site was uncontaminated. Using a 1 mL insulin syringe (30 G needle), 100 μL of VSV suspension was drawn and slowly injected into the abdominal cavity in the groin area, with the needle inserted to a depth of approximately 3-5 mm to ensure even distribution of the viral suspension and avoid accidental puncture of the intestines or bladder. After injection, the injection site was gently pressed for 5 seconds to prevent extravasation. Following infection, mice were weighed at fixed times daily, and their mental status, activity level, coat condition, and neurological symptoms (such as hind limb paralysis and ataxia) were observed, and survival rates were calculated.

[0077] Blood samples were collected from mice before and one day after infection using the tail vein sampling method. Mice were restrained in a mouse restraint device, and the tail was disinfected with 75% ethanol. After the tail vein was fully dilated, a 28G needle was used to slowly puncture the vein, collecting 100 μL of blood into an EDTA anticoagulant tube. Forty-eight hours post-infection, mice were anesthetized (using intraperitoneal injection of sodium pentobarbital), and spleen and liver tissues were collected under aseptic conditions for subsequent RNA extraction.

[0078] The virus-infected mouse model was divided into a control group and a Fisogatinib treatment group. The changes in their survival rate over time were observed, as well as the expression of viruses and cytokines in the spleen, liver tissue and blood of the mice.

[0079] 2. Experimental Results

[0080] Mouse survival results as follows Figure 3 As shown, the results indicate that fexotinib can effectively inhibit the virus in the viral infection model, thereby greatly improving the survival rate of mice.

[0081] Virus expression in mouse spleen and liver tissues as follows: Figure 4 As shown, the results indicate that fexotinib can effectively inhibit viral expression in the viral infection model.

[0082] The expression of cytokines in the spleen, liver tissue, and blood of mice is as follows: Figure 5 As shown, the results indicate that fexotinib can effectively inhibit the virus in the viral infection model, thereby suppressing the expression of inflammatory cytokines.

[0083] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention, and not to limit them. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some of the technical features.
