Ivanovsky, it has been recognized that all organisms of Earth's biosphere serve as natural hosts for viruses. Viruses, grouped within the informal domain <i>Vira</i>, infect all three domains of cellular life: archaea - <i>Archaea, </i>bacteria - <i>Bacteria</i>, and eukaryotes - <i>Eucarya</i> (algae, fungi, protozoa, plants, invertebrates, and vertebrates). The formation of viral population gene pools through interactions with the gene pools of their hosts has taken place under changing environmental conditions over 3.5 billion years, giving rise to the vast diversity of the virosphere. The accumulation of data on the Earth's virosphere, facilitated by the advent of high-throughput sequencing technologies (NGS), has necessitated a reassessment of approaches to virus classification and, since 2018, has led to a reform of viral taxonomy through the introduction of higher taxonomic ranks (megataxonomy). As of September 2025, the International Committee on Taxonomy of Viruses (ICTV) recognizes 15 taxonomic ranks for viruses, the most significant being: realm - 7, kingdom - 11, phylum - 23, class - 49, order - 93, family - 368, genus - 3769, and species - 16,215. Ongoing advances in metagenomics, metatranscriptomics, and the global ecology of the virosphere will inevitably drive further changes in viral taxonomy and megataxonomy.

To optimize the pathogenetic therapy of influenza infection, a screening of medications with endothelial protective properties was carried out.</p><p><strong>Aim: </strong>The aim of the study was to evaluate the endothelial protective properties of sacubitril/valsartan and drotaverine in influenza A(H1N1)pdm09 virus infection.</p><p><strong>Materials and methods: </strong>The study was conducted on Wistar rats, which received sacubitril/valsartan and drotaverine (in treatment and prophylactic regimen) followed by intransal infection with influenza A/Saint-Petersburg/48/16 (H1N1)pdm09 virus. Rats without drug administration were included in the control group; rats received no medications followed by influenza virus infection - in challenge control group. The virus infectious activity was determined in pulmonary and mesenteric tissues. Vascular endothelium damage in lungs was assessed by three parameters (desquamation, morphological and dystrophic changes). Endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) expression level in endothelium of mesenteric blood vessels was determined as well as mesenteric arteries vasomotor activity.</p><p><strong>Results: </strong>Drotaverine reduces the severity of histopathological changes in the pulmonary vascular endothelium; increases the maximal response of mesenteric blood vessels to acetylcholine compared to the infection control group; normalizes eNOS expression levels. Sacubitril/valsartan reduces the severity of desquamation in the pulmonary vascular endothelium; normalizes the response of mesenteric blood vessels to acetylcholine, while eNOS expression is decreased.</p><p><strong>Conclusions: </strong>Drotaverine possesses more significant endothelial protective properties than sacubitril/valsartan when used in a treatment and prophylactic regimen in rats infected with influenza A(H1N1)pdm09 virus.</p>","PeriodicalId":23669,"journal":{"name":"Voprosy virusologii","volume":"70 4","pages":"349-362"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-09-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145378869","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
