| Targets |
Ganoderic acid TR primarily targets influenza neuraminidases (NAs), particularly H5N1 and H1N1 neuraminidases, with IC50 values of 10.9 μM and 4.6 μM, respectively. It acts as a broad-spectrum inhibitor against these viral enzymes. The compound also has 5α-reductase inhibitory activity. By inhibiting neuraminidase, it prevents viral release and spread, making it a potential antiviral agent for influenza treatment.
