The present application provides the use of MIR2911 in the preparation of drugs against
yellow fever virus YFV. Compared with the prior art, the present application has the following advantages: the application provided by the present application innovatively proposes a strategy for inhibiting YFV replication using MIR2911 small
nucleic acid drugs, which can specifically target multiple genes of YFV and more effectively inhibit YFV replication than
ribavirin;
cell experiments have verified the inhibitory effects at the mRNA,
protein and
virus particle levels. The
RNA sequence that ultimately exerts the effect is encapsulated and transported by endogenous exosomes, and there is no immune response. There is no need to verify the safety of exosomes, and it can also compensate for individual differences in oral MIR2911. Compared with
protein and
peptide drugs with a single target on the market, it is low-cost and more efficient.
