[Effect of fullerene C60-polyvinilpyrrolidone complexes on influenza virus reproduction]

The capacity of water-soluble complexes of fullerene C60-polyvinylpyrrolidone to inhibit the replication of influenza viruses was studied. In contrast to remantadine, these complexes inhibit the replication of both A and B viruses (including the remantadine-resistant strains). The complexes inhibit influenza virus replication at all stages of replication cycle.
