Abstract:
Antiviral agents based on natural products have attracted substantial attention in clinical applications for their distinct biological activities,molecular structuralmultiformities, and low biotoxicities. Ferulic acid (FA) with apigenin propaneto form an esterified FA derivative (FAAP).Herein, we designed a CsPbBr3-modified chitosan oligosaccharide, a biomimetic nanoplatform that could load with FAAP. After self-assembly by combining FAAP with CsPbBr3-modified chitosan oligosaccharide (FAAP NPs), the resulting nanoparticles (FAAP NPs) showed high antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activities for enhancing the inhibition of porcineparvovirus.FAAP NPs exhibited no signs of acute toxicity in vitro or in vivo. DPPH and ABST are widely used for quantitative determination of antioxidant capacity. FAAP NPs exhibited excellent DPPH and ABTS radical scavenging abilities. In addition, we found that FAAP NPs inhibited PPV infection-induced PK-15 cell apoptosis, which was associated with regulating antioxidant and anti-inflammatory signaling pathways. Importantly, we showed that FAAP NPs blocked PPV infection-induced mitochondrial apoptosis in PK-15 cells via a p53/BH3 domain molecular-dependent mechanism.
