Influenza A virus-IN-8 (S5), a macrocyclic peptide, exhibits no cytotoxicity and acts as a potent inhibitor of Influenza A Virus (IAV), demonstrating significant protease stability, with IC50 values of 6.7 nM for H1 and 6.6 nM for H5 variants. It has a high affinity for H1 variants, binding to a conserved region in the HA stem with a dissociation constant (Kd) of 1.0 nM [1].
