The invention belongs to the technical field of medicines, and relates to a
benzyl alcohol derivative with anti-influenza
virus and anti-inflammatory activity. According to the invention, on the basis of 2, 5-dihydroxybenzyl
alcohol, 14
benzyl alcohol derivatives are synthesized by combining 2, 5-dihydroxybenzyl
alcohol with
cysteine,
amantadine or
sesquiterpene. All the derivatives show excellent anti-influenza
virus activity and also have a relatively good anti-inflammatory effect at the same time. The compounds can inhibit
virus replication by acting with influenza virus hemagglutinase or M2
ion channels, can also reduce excessive
inflammatory response by activating a host Nrf2 / HO-1
signal axis, can inhibit virus replication driven by NF-kappa B, can reduce over-high expression of
inflammatory factors such as host cells IL-6, IL-1beta and TNF-alpha, and can reduce inflammatory factor
storm. The action mechanism not only reduces the generation of
drug resistance, but also reduces
pathological effects caused by
oxidative damage and inflammatory factor
storm, and lays a foundation for developing novel anti-influenza virus drugs.
